O.o It can't be true. if it is then wow.

corret me if Im wrong but the only two is being release is the 6870 and 6850.

i think it will be around december when we get the replacement for the 5870 (the 6970) which is supposed to be as if not more powerful than a 5970 :D please dont cost a million dollars

Yeah AMD for some reason changed the name of their cards. The new 6870 is actually replacing the 5750 I believe at $250. The highend chips won't come out till late next month.GTSaiyanjin2

Do want! But I just spent the last bit of my college money on a HD5850, new PSU and a new case :). Still rocking my 2 yearold Q8200 which I'm hoping to replace soon for an i7 range. The HD5850 noms everything I throw at it though, and runs Crysis at a solid 30fps very high 1080p so I'm good for the next few years. :D

Ah good, this will make the price drop of the 5770 and I'll be able to Crossfire.tagyhag

Our PC's can be twins.

Because that's exactly what I'm hoping for :P

Which 5850 did you get?

I had the Asus but the fan makes a very irritating noise...I guess it's natural on the card, not sure.

Waiting on the 69xx cards. That's where I shop :).millerlight89

same im just hoping that they dont think they can charge 5970 money for the 6970 seeing as its replacing the 5870 but something tells me thats what is behind this weird number changing thing :(

im gonna wait on the 2nd generation of Nvidia cards before i make my judgement Led_poison

I heard the Nvidia cards will just be a rebadge.

UPDATE: Heres an even better link. XFX version leaked. http://www.techpowerup.com/132790/XFX-Radeon-HD-6870-Smiles-for-the-Camera.html

Its meant to be the successor to the 5700 series cards. No point in buying on if you already own a 5800 series card. ATI has a nice numbering system and now theyre going to screw it up? I dont get it. They should keep it so x5xx is low end, x7xx mid end, x8xx gaming, and x9xx enthusiast.
