Radeon HD 6970 Launch May Face Delays
Originally slated for a November 22 launch, AMD's next-generation enthusiast-grade GPU, the Radeon HD 6970 may face some launch delays, according to industry sources. Apparently the company is yet to finalize a launch driver and BIOS for the HD 6970, and that could push back launch by a little. Meanwhile, a Zol.com.cn contributor let out some juicy pictures of the HD 6970 reference design accelerator.

I think the 580 launch date surprised them a little and as a consequence they want their launch kept pretty tight.
i remember this
850 core , 1600 memory , 256 bit , 32 rops
I'd prefer for the card to come out asap, so the price war begins.
Plus, I can't wait to see how 6970 stacks up against gtx 580 that comes out this Tuesday!
Nasdaq : Nvidia Q32010 Revenue 903million $
NYSE : AMD Q32010 Revenue 1,6 billion $
They improved the Crossfire scaling with the 6870, I wonder if the CrossfireX scaling is improved too?
AMD is always bringing it's products in time! :) (at least in the past few years)
