AMD Shows Radeon Roadmap for Early 2011

Yay for more cards, come on price drops

Cmon time to go to 32mm or even 28mm process, shrink these B*tches!

high performance with low power consumption... at even lower price... hmmmm... Nah!!!

I'm wait for the HD 6999

Why wait for that when you can wait for Southern Island?

C'mon price drops so I can upgrade from my lowly 2 yr old GTX260. Granted I don't do that much PC gaming anymore so this card suits me fine its just simply time for an upgrade to DX11.

Cannot wait for the Caymans!

Edit: Double post. Thumbs down.

AMD sucks lol

So I take it by the looks on that graph arrow that AMD has no plans on replacing the Radeon 5770 at least in the first quater of 2011.

Anyone else notice how AMD is using some of the same codenames with past Windows OSes condenames like Whistler and Blackcomb?

I just picked up a HD 6850 for cheap and it's faster, cheaper, more efficient and better tech than my HD 4870 2GB I bought a year ago. I love it when AMD/NVIDIA have a dog fight! We win!

^ The 68xx series is the replacement for the 57xx series. Their naming scheme is a bit confusing.

68xx does replace the 57xx line but since it's performance matches the 58xx it makes sense to leave the 57xx in the lineup.
Presuming Turks and Caicos arrive at sub 57xx performance.

The 57xx was a really good card for the money when it came out... And judging by sales it continues to be. That's what I'm running in my system!

So, looks like it is AMD that got delayed this time. Well I hope the product they release is worth the wait, not a rather underwhelming product like Fermi, considering it was launched 6 months later than 5000 series with not much performance gain over them.

are they dropping the ATI name?

they already did.

Hooray for new $400 cards every 9 months,
Boo for perhaps that "count it - ONE" good PC game that MIGHT be considered a viable software for that new VC.
PC Gaming as of late, is dead. There are rumors that the new 'tide' is coming, but as long as EA, UBI, Activision, are in the lead, there is NO HOPE for new talent.

edit: we need new startup gaming companies, that are dedicated to work, for the gamers, by the gamers, simplistic games that immerse, and not for ADbarf gaming. The best games were circa 1980-1995, the rest is all downhill.

@noblerabbit

I agree that PC games are not where we'd like to see them.
But the Mass Effects and Dragon Age were great.
So was StarCraft 2.
I don't often play nVidia only titles, but Metro2033 had some amazing graphics.

I say all that to say-- take heart and please suport your friendly neighborhood developer; don't pirate!

rhino,
I buy the games I love to play, I have legally purchased over $10,000 of Software, entertaining games, that I loved to play. I admit, I have tried some lent games, I obtained via friends, but when I love a game, and theere are a few indeed, NeedforSpeed Shift, all CommandConquer games, SC2, All Diablo games (Going to take 2 years off work to play D3 to death - literally), The witcher, and lately, some PS3 titles. Rockband , err.. not much else for PS3 lol,..
Pirating, did kill it for PC, I have to agree a little. Developers and artists deserve recompensation. The power of the internet however, should EASILY give any lost money back to them, where it belongs. If EVERY Pirate donated ONE DOLLAR per month, over the next few years, we can start over making great games.

Well, at least they bought the company for the technology and know how vs just the name and the ability to dismantle and rape it...

I'm looking at you Oracle...

Metro 2033's amazing graphics crush my AMD GPU They are amazing, but damn.

Yes,there was a poll that determined the AMD name brand is stronger than the ATI name brand. Thus the ATI name brand is officially retired.

They prenounce it Kai-kos?

Eagerly waiting for benchies....

Yup, I was aware of that when I may be purchase decision. My benchmarks show about a 15% increase in performance. I get a Win7 score of 7.7 (instead of 7.5 like my 4870) and am now able to run all 3 of my displays on one card instead of 2 4870's.

ROFL, would love to get my hands on a 6990 or X2.

Sry have a copy of StarCraft2 here and played it for 5 mins then uninstalled and cursed the day I bought it. Shout if you need the cd key + other 30 day keys, bloody useless game. Just as horrible as Vista, would pay anyone to take this junk from me.

Now there is a free-2-play online something from Dice+EA I think that looks decent coming out soon, look promising after the recent EA+Dice wall hacked beta / Oct 2010 disaster.
If only they would post real in-game game play not faked propped pics of how the game does not look like as is normally done.

I think he was talking to the post above you. You just beat him to posting, lol.

just bought the powercolor 6850 for ~$185 w/ shipping from the egg. Couldn't be happier with the performance increase from my sapphire 4870 512 toxic. Better framerate, lower temps, and it's much quieter. It it holds up better than my 4870(had to rma twice back to sapphire) all will be well

i'm pretty impressed with AMD, seeing as how 2 6870's in CF cost less and preform better than Nvidia's new 580, and pretty much puts AMD 5870 performance at mid level prices. I'm still waiting to see how the 6900's perform. This is gonna be another good year for PC enthusiast.

From the looks of it 6970 & 6950 is a tier up from 5870 instead of replacement. Idiotic naming scheme.
