Please, read through this thread. A lot of egg on the faces of some of our more..."visible" posters tonight.

Archonis: for whatever reason, you are still making erroneous statements that the "previous generation" "counterparts" to the 6800 cards are the 5800 cards. Even though cuside has spelled it out explicitly for you that the 6800 cards are the mid-range offerings in the 6000 series.

C'mon, give him a break. He declared he 'knows' things he cannot talk about... apparently video cards from AMD are not among them, so what?

Edit: Ack, thread is getting de-railed. Any further glimpses of the GTX580, or are we back to speculation?

I think I got what I wanted to know - it's about ~15% faster than my 5870, still cannot beat the $4xx 5970 and probably will put some pressure on AMD to rethink 6970/6990 prices before release.

Oh yeah, I agree... but you still managed to impress me - I thought you'd never admit it. :biggrin:

How does a 580gtx fit in the lineup? Would it not make a lot more sense if we were talking about a leaked slide that showed a 485gtx or a 490gtx? Why is the inconsistency of the name of this, as of this point, fictional card being completely dismissed by those who support it's likely existance in the near future?

It doesn't make a lot of sense for a 580gtx to be released in the near future. There's not any conspiracy behind the reasonable thought that presents such an argument.

You sure?
