Ask our forumer here..they have the cards already

oo so it is related with Fusion product eih?

Maybe inside AMD Fusion APU featured if HD 6700 series?

Well actually..dont trust review so much about overclocking..they just sucks.

Many overclockers managed to get more than the one showed in review.

Have a look at this :

AMD Radeon HD 6970 Results surface

http://www.guru3d.com/news/amd-radeon-hd-6...esults-surface/

First,since now not released yet non-reference card,so i dont see any difference in performance between Asus vs non-Asus.
The differences most probably is :

Packaging
Warranty
Bundles(maybe got games,pad..etc)
Cooler(hardly cos all still using ref cooler)
Clock Speed/Overclocked

About the overclocking capability,its vary because of the BIOS used.Some ppl like to use MSI BIOS,Asus BIOS..depends.

What im worry is the price and TDP.

Waiting game is really awful

Now i still considering whether to wait 7 series or grab 6 series

Since 7 series release date just about time Bulldozer released

More info on Cayman unveiled

Because the GC TDP is related with how much power is required for the system

Well you might not need 3/4 way scaling anyway
But still depends lor..

2 weeks to go before it is released

Have you tried Driver Sweeper to delete all older drivers?

The software is still new.So i guess it takes time for AMD to support it or for the Softwaare to recognize it.

I think everyone knows it right?

AMD Graphics is all about price/performance

Im not suprised if the HD 6970 might not be able to compete GTX580 but that where price/performance come

The price may be about HD 5850/HD5870 on launch.I couldnt remember much..

Hold on..ok got it..this is just speculation and not real i think :

NVIDIA's & ATI's Latest Pricing as of end of this week
GTX 460 768MB = £105 - £115
5830 1024MB = £115-£130 **EOL** ***Practically 5850 performance - BARGAIN***
6850 1024MB = £130-£140
GTX 460 1024MB = £140-£160
5850 1024MB = £130-£150 **EOL** ***Stock None Existent***
6870 1024MB = £170-£190
5870 1024MB = £180-£200 **EOL** ***Nothing sub £200 beats this***
GTX 470 1280MB = £190-£220 **EOL**
6950 2048MB = £220-£230 ***Expect £10 price increase in January***
GTX 480 1536MB = £250-£270 **EOL**
GTX 570 1280MB = £250-£290
6970 2048MB = £285 - £320 ***Expect £20 price increase in January***
GTX 580 1536MB = £350-£450 **Supply & Demand will keep this high**
6990 4096MB = £450-£500

I think they disabled shader(rumored as u said) to save the TDP perhaps?Because it is quite high already.

Looks like i will be skipping 40nm and wait for 28nm instead then.

Well if the HD 6970 is priced well then it could survive in market.

For now its HD 6950 best buck..

When i see the graph,it seems that AMD shines at higher resolution thanks to 2GB perhaps?

No one knows but is there any reviewer that uses Officia 10.12 Driver?

Im sure there will in the future.

The Crossfire Scaling is really good..

But some people said microstutter occurs right?

You can check FPS.If your computer quite high end,your warcraft is running at 200FPS.

As per to regedit,the max FPS for War3 is stated there.(200)

Maybe something related with your resolution?

If not,try using stock driver(Microsoft)
