I don't normaly post these reviews, but there are a few interesting things I saw.
http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/08/09/sapphire_hd6970_bfbc2_vietnam_special_edition_review/8
At stock settings the 580 is horribly overpriced (not that we didn't know that), There isn't much of a difference between it and the other 2 cards that are $150 cheaper.
Another thig is how far the geforce cards have come in DA2 with driver updates, they are on par with the AMD cards.
Also it looks like after some driver updates the 6970 looks like its closer to the 580 than it is to the 570.
Also the 6970 has horrible overclock scaling. Seems like its IPC drops a lot over its stock 880mhz frequency, except in BC2. Anyone know why that could be?
