Meh... It's a rumor thread.Anyone making performance predictions without having seen the product reviews or buying something without looking at all the available products in the market is quite frankly an idiot, a fanboy or both.

Meh... It's a rumor thread.
There's 855 replies of idiots and fanboys.
Make that 856
wait, if it were "replies" that would include my earlier one
Let me just wait for the cards in 2014 since they will be better right?
I think it's safe to assume cards in 2014 will be better than they are today, yes.
We gotta hope we get past 2012 first
Yeah we got that info a few days ago from a leaked release.I forgot to add this to my prediction, we could see the 6970 for sale on the 8th, tomorrow.
P.S: I don't think this was posted before. New interface for Catalyst 10.12
I'd be surprised if it's released tomorrow. Did you all forget AMD officially said they would be released sometime during week 50 of this year? That means between the 13th and 17th. Most sources (unconfirmed for obvious reasons like signed NDAs) peg it at the 15th. Samples are already on reviewers hands. I know for a fact Hardware.fr has them and many others will have them before the week is over.
AMD also officially said they would be out in Nov...
Its doubtful they will be out tomorrow though.
Okay after reading the GTX 570 review today I'm curious if the cards are coming on the 13th I'm leaning towards no, they may come as stated on the week of the 13th but Kyle and gang haven't even received their testing samples yet. Usually for reviewing purposes cards get out to reviewers a week before launch and today being less than a week till the 13th. We may see it later in the week like perhaps December 19th. Cutting it pretty close to Christmas this time.

Are you sure they don't have a review sample?
They honor NDAs. For all we know, they're biting their tongues until it bleeds to give 570 a gold recommendation At the very least, they mentioned next week twice and said it's possible they'll have to revisit the performance and value of the award.
A l’heure où nous publions ce dossier, les Radeon HD 6900 sont enfin entre nos mains et avec un lancement prévu le 15 décembre il paraît cette fois sage de patienter une semaine de plus pour disposer de toutes les informations avant d’acheter. Qui plus est, si le prix de lancement de 350€ de la GeForce GTX 570 est plutôt bien justifié compte tenu du niveau de performances, il pourrait bien entendu y avoir un ajustement.
Your uninformed opinion is duly noted. Cards are already on reviewers hands. This website is only one of dozens more who are going to cover the launch.

Anything anyone says about the 69xx series is technically "uninformed" since nobody has any actual information other than random leaks, which strangely ALL point to different dates. Some say 8th, some say 13th, and some of them say 2011.Your uninformed opinion is duly noted.

Let's just go fully pessimist and assume the cards don't even exist at all.
Heres what im thinking.
6970 1920 4D shaders = 480 Shader Blocks
5870 1600 5D shaders = 320 Shader Blocks
6870 1120 4D shaders = 280 Shader Blocks
5850 1440 5D shaders = 288 Shader Blocks
From what I understand 6870 is somewhat faster than the 5850 with slightly less shader blocks.
The 6970 will be far more than a 5870 scaled up to 1920sp. It would be roughly equivelent to a 2400sp 5870. Theoretically at the same clock speed it should be 1.5x the performance of a 5870.
I would think that it will easily beat the GTX 580 by ~15-20%
You can't honestly expect him to say "Yes, we have it".I'm definitely not sure but even in the thread Kyle confirms they haven't yet. Not a big deal like I said it'll probably be out the week of the 13th just like amd said.
Well, it's more than just that. It also split the commend processor (and likely the thread dispatcher) in two, which helped the HD6870 get withing spitting range of the HD5870 with 480 fewer shaders (though it did have the same ROP count, though lower fillrate due to memory clocks...)Heres what im thinking.

^^ Someone gets it
Nah neither he nor you really get it, but that's ok. I brought you facts with verified sources
Where (Looks left/Right/Behind)
Where it goes nuts is that 6870 has 5D shaders.
6870 1120 5D shaders = 224 Shader Blocks
5850 1440 5D shaders = 288 Shader Blocks
And they perform similar.
If the new 4D shader performs equal to the 5D shader in 6870s, then
480/224 = 214% or a 114% performance boost over 6870s, and 1 6870 = 70% of a 580, so 2x is 140% of a 580.

They officially said week 50 in an investor conference call. If they had lied, there would've been some pretty big consequences.
