Fudzilla: We have received confirmation from multiple sources that AMD’s Radeon HD 6970 and 6850 cards, codenamed Cayman, are scheduled to launch December 15th.
Our sources indicate that Geforce GTX 580 should end up faster than Radeon HD 6970 at least in many of the popular benchmarks. The fact that AMD is pricing Cayman cards a bit lower than the 580 lends a bit more credibility to such claims. We have also heard that driver was one of the reasons of this “slight” delay of Cayman launch, and we guess that part of the story is that Geforce GTX 580 ended up much better than ATI expected.
wow gtx 570 will have to go down in price already I hope!!
