6950 competes with GTX 570/480 and is priced similar.

Gibbo: "They are here though. "
and:
"I can't speak for our competitors but we won't be running out and we shall be aiming to be the most competively price on the 6900 cards. "

Looks like AMD may well keep to their revised release date of 25th December.

Of course we won't know the truth until next Wednesday, 15th. From the leaked and general hype I'm expecting the general performance order of play to be :-
6990 dual
580GTX dual
5990 dual
6970 single
480GTX / 6950 (not sure which) singles
5870 single

<switching to the GPU thread>

Thank you for these links. What would you go for? I never had ATI but this time I would maybe go for them because I think that more VRAM could make a bigger difference due to the fact that the textures in BoB have high resolution.

If I can afford it, the 6970 for its performance over the 6950. If there is a choice between 1Gb and 2Gb then I might be tempted to go 6950 2Gb because I am guessing a 6970 2Gb might be up there near the 580GTX price, currently costing £400-500, which is beyond my budget. That's really the point, I could twist my own arm to spend £350 and the 68xx's were much cheaper to manufacture than the 58xx's bang for bang. AMD have made a lot of the 69xx performance and placed the 6950 just above the 5870 and the 6970 below the 5890 (ok the sheets were leaked). The 5870 is currently around £300-£350 on scan.co.uk. If the 6950 technology is cheaper but I'm getting more performance I'd expect it to hit around the same price, possibly a little less. if the 6970 price should happen to drop in near that I might twist my arm a little harder! (but not for a 580GTX)

The 5890 and 6990 are both dual cards and beyond my wallet.
