Radeon HD 6900 Series Products Listed on European Store
A French online store listed AMD Radeon HD 6900 series graphics cards. Both branded by MSI, the Radeon HD 6950 part carries the model number R6950-2PM2D2G5, and packs 1 GB of GDDR5 memory, while the Radeon HD 6970 carries the model number R6970-2PM2D2GD5, and packs twice the amount - 2 GB GDDR5 memory. Besides the memory amount, the other only significant specification is the list price, €398.22 for the HD 6950, and €496.02 for the HD 6970. So far, both SKUs are known to be high-end single GPU cards. AMD's elusive HD 6900 series graphics cards will be launched next week.

HD6970 runns at 880Mhz core
Has 1560 Shaders only
"OMFG 1560 Shaders triple of 512 shaders"
The 6970 is launching on the 23rd. Way to be vague about it AMD, however they did word it right in the press release saying that the 6900 SERIES was going to be here on the 11th. Guess we will have to wait some more till we have some reviews on the 6970. Some people aren't going to be pleased about this.
If the 6970 and 6950 are price=performance, nVidia is gonna get their ass whooped!
It will be very interesting to how 2 6870's in Crossfire will perform against 1 6950 and against 1 6970.
Also, i don't know what your talking about in regard to NVidia availability, the first e tailer I checked to see if your story held true was Scan, they have five different GTX 570's in stock and four different GTX 580 models in stock?????
Always, always, check up any information you receive, before passing it on to a third person. If you think the information is subject to question, then state this and at least provide sources, references, quotes...
Anyway It's rather sad how people already believe these to be the best, based on prices from a website.:shadedshu
btw, how much is in Euros gtx480 and HD5970 ??? 1000$ for what?!!? Console ports?? Ones that you can play BETTER with a 200$ PS3?!?! Hahahaha!
You can buy a x360 with kinect bundled and 1 game for €270, and seeing all PC games are being ruined to console level there is a definite severe limit how much you should put down for a graphics card.
(Not that I'd ever advise to connect a kinect to a x360 that is connected to the internet, you don't want MS to have a live video feed of your living-room.)
Enjoy the cards :) I myself am not interested in none of these high end cards, i am buying a 6850 and a 450 very soon, and those will be my next cards to buy.
398.00 EUR = 527.185 USD
496.00 EUR = 656.965 USD
These price's sound a little more realistic. I wouldn't be suprised if the 6990 reaches to at least $800-$900 USD range. I know it will be worth it :rockout:
