yup.it's more like that...AMD going to rebrand hd57xx series into hd67xx... smile.gif

Erm... If thats the case, we waste money on the 6000 series which it can only run at 57xx series performance. >.<

Don't think it can crossfire it like this. Few days more till the release. That 3d screen stuff I'm not quite into it, cause I personally have dizzy issue after watch the 3d effect rclxub.gif

lol at new branding...
later will get people asking "is it worth upgrading from 5770 to 6770?"  doh.gif

for 3d glasses, it gets awhile to get used to...
many people tried and disliked it cos dizzy, and never give it a chance
most people will adapt to it, and wont get dizzy after use it many times
but I still think 3d glasses strains the eyes more than normal gaming regardless

fyi, only small portion of people becomes dizzy even after got used at using it

Actually now there is glasses 3D screen that you can even play with wearing glasses. This is really helpful cause I'm sure when I'm wearing the glasses, the vision is still kinda blur compare you are playing without it. Without glasses tech will be much clearer and less dizziness affected to people. Dizziness is due to unclear screen and unable to differentiate the direction that causing confusion, make people dizzy.

Next week should be the launch of 6000 series. Everyone is really looking forward to the mid range product whether AMD can beat the only survivor nvidia 460 or not. If it is, AMD will cotinue dominate the market until nvidia releases new series.

For your info regarding 6870. smile.gif

QUOTE
Some 20+ percent

The latest that we have gathered about AMD's controversial new graphics cores, codenamed Barts (not Simpson ed.) claim that Radeon HD 6870 should easily be faster than a Geforce GTX 460 1GB.

This also implies that this card should be priced slightly higher than a Geforce GTX 460 1GB, so we expect that Radeon HD 6870 should cost around €250 / $250 USD if not a few bucks cheaper.

We are hearing that the performance gain on average with the new Barts XT part is around 20 to 25 percent but on the same time, we hear that Radeon HD 6870 won't be that much faster than the current 5870.

The good part is that despite the controversies Cayman XT and PRO cards should ship in about a month's time, being significantly faster than Cypress based Radeon HD 5870 series available today.

The official launch should take place next week.

isn't that gtx 460 priced @ <usd199?
50bucks more not slightly i guess.. not add up distributors' prices here in to account..

So now it's just up to AMD whether they want to completely win 460 by lowering price abit or stay on the price... rclxms.gif

I'm sure all those 5850 and 5870 users mostly are not interested in the 6870 and 6850, instead they are much looking forward to the 6900 series brows.gif

the ventilation hole is enough ar? so many ports blocking there..

AMD claimed it is wider than 5800 series. But I keep looking back and forth, looks the same to me haha. You cant expect reference card full load temperature will be much nicer as the 3rd party or non reference one. Usually it will be loud as jet engine when full 100% fan tongue.gif

BTW any good cooling solution for the Asus 5870 instead of the stock fan?
*
I just changed my Asus 5870 First Reference Card to Artic Cooling Extreme Tri Fans, performance is really superb. Let me list down the benefit after install it.

1) Quiet, I set my fan 50% and you cant even hear a thing. Increase fan speed to 100% and there is not much noise compare with 50% fans speed in reference card.

2) Temperature wise, at 50% fan speed I got idle at 45C, and in air con 24c environment it can reach 36C (roughly, have to check again for confirmation, but definitely is 30++C), 100% fan speed (without air con) is 40C.

Price is around RM200+ for the cooler. A good performance cooler for such a monster graphic card. I haven't checked on the full load cause usually idle won't make a lot of diff when compare with every cooler. And I just reformat my OS, not yet install 3dMark. ><

Not only that but even HD 69XX have higher TDP and die sizes compared to previous generation..

I wonder how it will turns out..  sweat.gif
*
High TDP means nvidia will be able to produce 500 series without caring TDP already since AMD is now offering almost the same TDP as nvidia. ( Possible ) nod.gif

I guess the price should be around RM1.1k for 6950, and RM1.5k for 6970. Oh ya 6970 might exceed RM2k which is not surprised for me. I guess by moving from 5000 series to 6000 series, it seems like it is not worth due to high TDP as well. doh.gif

Nvidia has always had the problem with TDP, temperature and power usage issue. Let see what Nvidia will offer when they released 500 series on December. brows.gif

It's not so long to me. I think the 6900 series should have same length as 5800 series card. cause if they really make it longer, only few casing can support it haha.

just wait 6970 la.. better.. no hassle with some CF issue..

Haha, i think dual 5870 should be able to beat 6970. Just my two cents, I so hope to get 6970, but the price should be sky rocket. Can't afford to buy it anymore, Waiting for 7000 series 28nm .. hehehe

Your 5870 can still last you for quite some time depending on the applications/games you use. biggrin.gif

Actually it can last u until 7000 series release. or u crossfire it to counter 7000. But anyhow, 7000 series will be the greatest breakthrough in the graphic history
