6950 CF is $600: that's 3.4% more then a 5970 and 20% more then a 580 but how much better then a 5970 and 580 is it? Shall we add up?
Not counting the 3DMark benches AND Unigine bench: 6950 CF has 26.1% over 5970 and 41.5% over 580
Not counting 3DMark benches only: 6950 CF has 38.8% over 5970 and 43.9% over 580
Counting everything: 6950 CF has 27.5% over 5970 and 42.8% over 580
That's 27.5% more power costing 3.4% more or 42.8% more power costing 20% more. To put it into perspective, 6970 costs 23.3% more then 6950 and only brings ~12% better performance then 6950.
Unless i made some mistake, i didn't arrive @ the same conclusion as W1zzard:
Judging from this, the 6990 will totally destroy 5970 and 580: i wonder how it will stand against the dual GPU card nVidia is supposedly working on.
