The GeForce GTX 580 has a good momentum in the high-end graphics market. The GeForce GTX 570 will be available soon. The AMD's long-planned and diametrically opposed Radeon HD 6970/6950 is finally close at hand. Earlier, we have elaborated on the core architecture and technology of the Cayman Radeon HD 6900 series through official slides. The new 4D stream processor design is remarkable. Although the specific specifications, performance levels are still a mystery, but today we at least see the physical real body, and learned the price of two new cards in the domestic market.
The domestic video card manufacturer Unika has already taken the lead in preparing the Radeon HD 6970/6950 and exposed several physical photos taken in a warehouse. The first is the "Promise HD6970 DDR5 Gold Edition" based on the Cayman XT Radeon HD 6970. The suggested retail price is 3,999 yuan, which is exactly the same as that of the GeForce GTX 580. Don't know if this means that AMD is full of confidence in its new single-core flagship product, and is fully capable of defeating its opponents?
However, it is strange that AMD has already announced that it will completely abandon "ATI", but the familiar letter combination can still be seen on the manual next to the video card. Obviously, this transition of the brawny wrist-like transition cannot be accomplished overnight.
This is followed by the “Promise HD6950 DDR5 Gold Edition†based on the Cayman Pro Radeon HD 6850. The suggested retail price is 2,999 yuan, which is basically equivalent to the GeForce GTX 480. It is very likely to be face-to-face with the GeForce GTX 570 soon after its release.
At the same time, it can be seen that the Radeon HD 6900 series is identical in design to the Radeon HD 6800 series, and the radiators are almost the same, but they are obviously slightly longer, and the rest is waiting for the internal secret to be revealed.
However, it should be noted that the pricing of new graphics cards generally will not be finalized until the last moment before release, so the exposure of 3999 yuan and 2999 yuan seems reasonable, but it still does not rule out the possibility of slight changes.
Radeon HD 6970/6950 will be released in the third week of this month, that is, 13-17, and the products of various manufacturers will be listed on the first time.
