Marketing starting with a 6 would sound less than it's AMD counterpart ..............

Why was six so mad at seven?

[Splave]

because kal ate 9?

Why is 77 better than 69?

[Gunslinger]

Because 789.

GK104 aka the equivalent of the 560 Ti in the series
coming in March, ok availability ( hard launch ) [ better than the 7970 launch quantities, but not awesome like 8800GTX for example, that ship has sailed ]
performance...
synthetic benchmarks: ahead of the 7970 in 1 or 2 benchmarks ( specific "modes" )
gaming: between 7950 & 7970, very close to the 7970 in some games, around 10fps slower in the majority of games
price... think 329$ or a tad less
256 bit BUS width
2GB standard VRAM
stock clock around 800-850MHz ( maybe a bit higher, don't know how mass production is going )
TDP around 170 - 215W * [ not 100% sure on this ]

GK110 ( aka 780, aka the GTX580 equivalent ) coming in May or June, in ok quantities [ hard launch ]
clear winner against the 7970
F@H and scientific CUDA users gonna want this one because apart from being much faster than the GK104, it'll have some more features when it comes to computational usage

some tidbits for you guys to keep to yourselves

Think I'm gonna try and wait for the 780

If I'm still employed that is
