AMD's New Flagship HD 6970 Tested

I.M.O.G. writes "Today AMD officially introduces their newest flagship GPU, the Radeon HD 6970, hot on the heels of the Radeon HD 6870 released at the end of October, then the NVIDIA GTX 580 in early November, which is Nvidia's current flagship card. Initial testing and overclocking results are publishing at first tier review sites now. While the HD 6970 is a strong performer and the price point is outstanding for consumers, the GTX 580 retains the flagship crown while the AMD 5970 keeps the single card performance crown with its dual GPUs on a single card."

My mum asked me if the Nintendo 64 was the same power as the Commodore 64 :-)

Excellent...

...and a 9xxx card is older than either of them. It's all perfectly logical. :-)
