It's the 6950 1gb, NOT 6970 that will be $279.99

There was an error in the press release. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow what a big error. I'm sure there will be a few people upset over this. In the meantime, everyone (including myself) can stop speculation and hyperventilating now.
 
269.99 is about what the original 5850 was supposed to msrp for, of course for many months buyers had to pay much more. If the bios switch is still there, then at least it is basically a full die for most enthusiasts with a little flashing.

6950 1gb = no flashing .🙁
 
With rebates you can already get 6950 2GB for $280. Of course, with the criminal payout rate on rebates I'm not sure it's even worth mentioning.
 
You can't flash a 6970 2 Gb onto a 6950 1Gb, I would assume the memorry difference would cause some conflict.

I'm 7/7 right now in teh last year, with 2 of them being from OCZ.(who are notoriously bad)

hopefully my current round of 5 come through.... :whiste:


but yeah thats a really stupid price point for them.

should be 260 max. they should lower the 68xx prices and slide this in at 249.99....

OMG the green fanboys have been in an uproar since word of a $279 -HD6970 went out.
The huge sigh of relief damn near altered world weather early today lol😛
Imagine NOT being able to rave for a month or so about the god like GTX560 's arrival on Earth.
Break out the frankincense and myrrh.....😉


Topic is about AMD's typo, not your impressions of green fanboys.

Thread derail not acceptable.

The MSRP is $300. If you can get 2GB cards for $280 it stands to reason these 1GB cards will also end up selling under the MSRP, i.e. ~$260. If not, then I agree: pretty pointless to put these cards out in the first place.

Either way, $280 is too expensive for 1GB cards IMHO.
 
I noticed Newegg has crept down $5-10 on SOME 6850s and 6870s this morning. Wonder when it will hit other cards and when it will start hitting Amazon? (Haven't notice any Amazon drops as yet)
