Looking forward to Cayman 6970

Looks like Cayman will be pushed yet again to December 13th but as bad as that news may be, there IS some good here.

It seems that there are no yield issues with Cayman, rather, there is just a "shortage of DrMOS chips produced by Texas Instruments" that is holding it back.

Here's to hoping that it will be Equal to or greater than (=>) GTX 580 at a lower price point...

Maybe not right at launch, I'm patient, I'd like to see what price it launches at and see how it compares to the competition before I compulsively buy, if it's within 5% of GTX 580 and it's at a far less price then Nvidia will have no choice but to drop prices... I like both brands so price/performance wins for me. I am still considering 2 X GTX 460 SLI as well.
