what about the 6970? when shall that one be announce? somehow i remember read somewhere that it will be next week or november? they better don't put >RM1500. christmas this yr gonna be gud

and next yeer, they gonna release APU.
CPU and GPU combined.

i think in that range..

won't think for highend though..

APU = auxiliary power unit

Why 6850 got dual?..more hotter than 6870?..
or can OC to 6870 speed easily?..hehe..

for better cooling and priced higher abit..

probably late november.

LOL..

APU = Accelerated Processing Unit

6970 tdp might exceed gtx 480 tdp may be even 300w max

if 35% more performance.. i don't bother much..

haha, have to prepair enough power psu for it.

I doubt it.

Things might change with the PCI Express 3.0 specifications, but that is due out the end of this year and so won't be implemented until some time after.

people assume it dat way bcoz:

pcie lane - supply 75w
6 pin connector - supply 75w
8 pin connect - supply 150w
total = 300w

just bcoz people see 6970 is 6+8 pin, people assume it's gonna draw 300w.

ATI AMD Radeon guys simply just wanna mek sure it has room to oc la.

just mean it using 8+6 pin power connector, doesnt mean it will draw 300w, like people say, gtx480 tdp are 300w, but real load are 225w. Some people said that hd5850(2x6pin) can be run on one 6 pin connector, but it doesnt have power left for oc

560W enuff ka?

need to see ur other h/w configuration as well....

until 6970 recommended psu requirement is officially out, v will nvr know.

should be launch in the middle of november according to taiwan forum~

hey guys.. im using AMD 720BE unlocked to 4 core but my GC were NVDIA GTX 260+ oc. so im changing to ATI. have any idea to change on what card? how about 5770 CF?

need to buy GPU block for WC too.

i was using gtx260 las time, now waiting for 6870~~dirt tempting

what is ur mobo model?

AMD chipset....if just single card (not SLI) i think AMD chipset should be no prob to handle ur GTX260 or other 'green side' card
last time using GTX280 on my AMD870 chipset w/o any prob. but if dual mode just support CFx only.

HD5770 CF u can get low price (if used item) and u will get performance par HD5870..less or better might be.

but why not u just go through for HD68xx series
