Looking forward to seeing 580M sli... really not excitied by 560 sli only .... we need to see the 580 vs 6970 fight.

You mean 580m vs 6990m. That would be a fairer fight, considering the 485m is already a match for the 6970m

The 485m has a performance of 5-10% above the 6970m. I would imagine the 580m will own the 6970.

Having looked at their two respective flagships (590 vs the 6990), the 590 is the king of the hill. The nod goes to Nvidia for performance but for value the AMD is the clear winner.

^The gtx 590 and AMD 6990 are pretty much dead even in reviews...

In pretty much every review I've read, they were dead even (7-7 each) on tests won. The gtx590 does run cooler and is smaller and quieter, so I guess you could give it the nod for being nicer that way, buut it doesn't actually perform higher much (if) at all. Also, they both cost the same (competitve pricing on Nvidia's side for once) - around ~700$

I do agree with the 580m>6970m. AMD will try and compete with it with the 6990m hopefully. The 570m is supposed to be weaker than the 485m slightly, and hopefully with compete with the 6970m as a price point, since the prices of the 485m are ridiculous

If you're talking about the desktop side of things, the 6990 is actually faster. It becomes more evident at higher resolutions that require a multi-monitor setup.

And it's obvious that the 580M > 6970M. The 580M's real competitor would be the 6990M.

Likewise ... if people are proposing that the 580m will be 10-20% faster then the 485 ... how would and OC 6970 compare ? (recognizing that you can OC a 580 as well, but discounting that ...)

depending on how well the 580 overclocks, probably 15-25% behind. the GF114 is the best overclocking fermi core to date. i expect the mobile version to follow. its all up to the 6990M to compete with the 580.

Still waiting for news of the 560M in any Alienware. Toshiba, ASUS and others have been shipping them for some time now.

I guess maybe Dell bought the remaining 460Ms at a nice discount to use as a base offering.

[Alienwhere]

Any news or rumors on the 560M? Last day of summer maybe?

its possible to order m18x with single 560m in canada
