Oh I see your logic now.
btw overall discrete is still in favor of AMD for Q3 (50.30% vs 49.60%).
You do realize those are just Q3 numbers right? And you do realize AMD already sold like 16 mil units when nV sold 0 (6 month Fermi delay). It was more than 25mil not long ago for AMD.
Yes.

Oh come on , 45 days ago , I would have chosen 11.1 and 900/100 , and it would turn out rightI can honestly say that the numbers don't add up, you've not listed the proper dataeither your ratios are off
, are you suggesting that my numbers are way off ? or that the whole riddle is too obvious to answer !

Can anyone here at least leak, that there will be some leaks tomorrow :smile:

Good, your numbers are in line with what I heard quite a bit ago, good to see that the GTX580/570 hasn't changed anything for them.
$449 XT
$349 Pro
and now it sounds like there will be either an LE or 1Gb Pro at ~$299.
How many times do people need to use these same arguments?
You want to erode consumer good will? Hype up a card publicly and then delay it. See: Fermi woodscrew edition. You want to hype up a card and then disappoint against the competition? See: can of whoop ass.
You know what's happened the last few times AMD's leaks revealed cards that Nvidia immediately countered with? The 4850 leaks made Nvidia release a 9800GTX+ and do a uniform price drop. The 6800's made a uniform price cut on the 460's and 470's.
Reveal your hand too soon, and Nvidia has all the pricing info they need to rain on your release before it happens. Or worse, Nvidia has cards held back to do it. Nvidia having been in a better financial state makes it easier to absorb these types of things - AMD doesn't get nearly that same luxury.
And AMD hasn't said a thing and Cayman is being hyped to all different extremes. So I don't think the PR needs to worry about creating interest and buzz. And think about how many people are holding back from buying a 580/570 just because they want to see what's around the corner?
Methinks many complaints about Cayman not having enough info are people who are going to buy a 580/570 anyways, but want to see lower prices
Plus, the original argument was about DX11 cards. This is for the entire discrete market, which means a lot of DX10(.1) stuff, especially from NVIDIA in Q3.

your data source doesn't support your conclusion. The numbers in that article are not specific to DirectX version or product generation.
In q3 of last year, all nV chips in Dx 10 were EOL outside of notebook integrated. So it does stand. Q4 actually brings on alot more Quardo and Tesla sales that we haven't even seen yet.
EOL doesn't mean they weren't being sold
Anyways, saw this mentioned earlier, from Damien's 570 review
edit: guru3d also hinted at the 570's price dropping 20 euros in the next few weeks, and techreport did the same in more stark terms.
I love silly season

translation: At a time when we publish this issue, the Radeon HD 6900 are finally in our hands and with a planned launch on December 15 this time it seems wise to wait another week to get all the information before you buy. Moreover, if the introductory price of 350 € for the GeForce GTX 570 is pretty well justified given the level of performance, there could of course be an adjustment

Rumors range anywhere from ~360-450mm2.
Most specific I have heard is 385mm2.
Early rumors pointed to under 400mm2, newer rumors are now stating over 400mm2, i.e. larger than R600's 420mm2.
Edit-
Me too!!!!
That leads me to believe that the 6950 is between the GTX570 and GTX580, possibly nipping at the heels of the GTX580.

But then why would these sites be saying to expect a price drop on a $350 GTX570 if a $450 6970 is inbetween it and the $500 GTX580, which would mean the $350 6950 is possibly under or at GTX570 levels...
For the GTX570 to get a price drop means the $350 6950 is faster than it.
Perhaps the difference between the 6950 and 6970 is small. (GTX570<6950<6970<GTX580).
Why use 2GB in 6950 if it does not matter?
I believe the 6950> GTX570 ... but I do not think 6970> GTX580.
yes, sure the AMD can upgrade the specs for the 6950(delay?), but not for the 6970...
The 6950 being next to the 6970 is too close and unlikely - 580 is only 20% faster than the 570, so them being less than 20% apart makes no sense, especially when AMD has never done that
That seems promising since they can get Barts specs right...
