Radeon HD 6000 Series Launch Delayed to November

AMD has reportedly delayed the launch of its much talked about Radeon HD 6000 series graphics processors from its expected date of October 12, to November, 2010. Whatever be the company's motive behind this delay, it creates room for NVIDIA to release new lower-mainstream and entry-level products. Perhaps AMD wants to make sure media-attention isn't split between HD 6000 series launch, and those of NVIDIA's GeForce 400 series spread throughout October.

These include the GeForce GT 430. Apart from new GPUs, NVIDIA is also said to be lowering the prices of some of its key SKUs, including the GeForce GTX 460 768 MB, and previous-generation GeForce GT 220. Meanwhile, it is increasingly looking like the first Radeon HD 6000 series SKUs will be based on the "Barts" die, these SKUs will succeed the Radeon HD 5700 series, and restore competitiveness against key NVIDIA SKUs.

cheezburgernot surprise, maybe they don't even have it....may they have it but turn out to be a mere rebrand, or the spec wasn't meet the consumer level. who know? if this turn out to be a mainstream card that would mean amd is completely give up the lead and satisfy what they have. also like someone said console ported will kill the high end market eventually as gaming platform are no different between extreme and average anymore and graphics are dated which even intel GMA can run it.....

f*** you all damn civilian!!
But then would it not just make sense to be looking forward to the next gen consoles tha would hopefully have more current power so tha even console poerts will be catching up with pc level graphics.... at the time the console chip was designed anyway :laugh:

krisna159may be thre is some thing bugs or else,so amd need to fix it ...:confused:

i hope 6000 series not delayed same as fermi in the past
A month is not a big deal. It's not fair to compare Radeon 6000 with GeForce 400 cause Nvidia is still releasing them and AMD was done months ago with 5000.

Some of the people here don't have powerful videocards just for the available games but for the simple reason of possessing the technology. You could easily reach your destination driving a Toyota but sometimes you just need a BMW even if the ultimate result is the same.

That's why there are guys who buy two 5970 and get tons of useless fps in games designed primarily for obsolete consoles :rolleyes:
