    Dragon Age 2 Performance Follow-Up @ [H]

    This is a very long thread (+1000 posts) with problems reported for a lot of cards.

    Nvidia Equivalent to XFX 5850

    It's bound for January. Expect around HD5850 speed, or even HD6870.

    Need a little advice about choosing a gfx card.

    Yeah, it's hard to not suggest a HD6950 right now as they can be flashed. Maybe slightly over budget though.

    Unlocking HD6950 to HD6970...

    Agreed, thats an indication that this will stay.No proof though.

    Unlocking HD6950 to HD6970...

    Its a question of yield. Perfect yield would show all HD6950s work. This is of course not likely. See GTX cards as dominant example :) I can' t understand why 3xSli have been discussed in a thread about unlocking shaders in HD6950 btw...

    What is taking nVidia so long to fix their driver.

    Actually I think it took 3 revisions. And from that you can calculate the time it takes to WHQL a driver. There were never a hotfix for that so we all had to wait for Microsoft getting their thumb... It was also the first problem that actually annoyed me with AMD drivers since 2008. I never...

    Unlocking HD6950 to HD6970...

    Yeah, always a lottery. The unrewritable second bios will make it easy to just go back to vanilla though. Quite bulletproof

    Unlocking HD6950 to HD6970...

    So that's what the second bios is for? http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2130396 Not really surprised. Nice anyway.

    What is taking nVidia so long to fix their driver.

    These are minor stuff that probably will be addressed in a beta first. Main reason why it takes long time with both nvidia and AMD drivers is microsoft. The time for getting a driver through WHQL is several months I think.

    Let the 6970 Rumors Begin

    If HD6970 is on level of HD5970 that would be fantastic. And something that have never happened on the same processnode. Dissapointment? Some are never satisfied :)

    GTX 500 Series Rumor Thread

    Yes, you say that HD6950 needs to be 10% faster than GTX480 to match GTX570. That's GTX580 territory and do not make sense.

    Let the 6970 Rumors Begin

    This is actually sensible, Whatever they did to improve utilization of shaders in Barts I would expect to carry over to Cayman to a large degree. Remember initial rumours that NI (Then SI) would have evergreen shaders but utilize NI architecture improvements, NI shaders would come later. That's...

    GTX 460 or ATI 6870?

    I get kicks out of engineering excellence. HD6870 is really a marvel as compared to GTX460 that has 50% larger die size but distinctly lower performance. So voting with my heart there is really no competition. Thinking with wallet GTX460 is an obvious deal though.

    GTX 500 Series Rumor Thread

    I do think they have to keep to 1,2GB for 570. The smaller memory buss is there for a cost reason and these cards are not memory bound except in a few odd circumstances. We are talking around 10% faster than HD6870 which have an even smaller bus width.
