The difference betwen 960 at 7xx MHz and 1120 900 MHz is realy small. What would justify the price difference
It seems fillrate and bandwith is still king of the fps.
Well, if the benchmark is bandwidth-limited, it's not surprising…
AMD: R9xx Speculation

MSRP and/or launch prices |= final street price once the market has settled.
Should see some rebates in a few weeks and especially when AIBs release their custom cards.

"The first benchmark is Dirt 2, Ultra DX11 at 1920x1200, 8xAA, 16xAF"
"The benchmark is a a 3-screen [BattleForge] 5760x1080 benchmark, run at DX10.1 mode, comparing HD 6850 Crossfire to GTX 460 SLI. In numbers, the HD 6850 CF is 1.6x 460 1GB SLI and 3.57x 460 768MB SLI."

If that's what Bart can do, then I'm salivating at the thought of what Cayman could do.
BTW on
The 960 (6850) is not CF. It's single.
Nicely directed benchmark though, shows something in the way of improved memory management.
however nice that is to believe , I have a hard time with that.. any source ? I followed the links to http://itbbs.pconline.com.cn/diy/11997453.html and http://translate.googleusercontent....&twu=1&usg=ALkJrhgKfvtpX5nFBT_WeeY20bLrnt6aBw
Don't think so the text says otherwise. And my chinese is non-existent, but clearly there are some additional symbols right at "960" compared to the other benchmark with single cards.BTW on

I don't think this is any different than what we sometimes saw with Evergreen vs. Fermi.
Well according to google translate, the characters, 单卡 mean "single card."
弟小 supposedly means "Little Brother" so that is probably how they designate the "Pro" suffix.

Ah ok then. Still, this might be a case where SLI is slower than non-SLI due to the memory issues. The chart is totally worthless, even more so since in this case it would only list non-crossfire HD6850 (who says this doesn't have problems with Crossfire due to memory pressure too?) vs. SLI GTX 460.
But GTX460 can't run 3 outputs at once without SLI.
Right, forgot about the resolution... In any case, the chart just doesn't tell us anything about the performance to expect, unfortunately.
Found this on PCWorld.fr :
J'ai reçu ça de la part d'un de mes amis qui tient une boutique. = I got this from a friend of mine who runs a shop.
I guess those are the final specs, then.

On a slight tangent- Was helping out a Fry's Electronics employee at my work, started chatting about his job, he does sales in computer accessories. Just asked him if he had heard about AMD releasing a new product. He said that the last week or so employees kept seeing them in the back and putting them out on the shelf so they finally locked them up. I was like damn, could have gotten one early.
I'll have to try and find one of those clueless employees a week or two before Cayman is released.
Don't forget the Front-End with the 25% higher clock rate.
