tviceman, let's break it down shall we?
We can all agree that Cayman will beat the GTX 480 or else why release such a shitty card right?
If we look at the performance of the GTX 580 over the GTX 480 it around 15-20% faster across the board so that doesn't leave much space for Cayman to be slower than GTX 580 and be faster then GTX 480.
Say we put Cayman at 10% faster than GTX 480 and 10% slower than GTX 580.
Now for the pricing, I want to go back to Barts with this, the reason why Barts was released was not to specifically replace Cypress or Juniper, it was supposed to fill a gap that AMD had in the line up. If we assume that AMD wants to avoid creating this gap again I am going to go out on a limb and say Cayman shouldn't have an MSRP over $399.99.
Of course I can be wrong, Cayman can be a dud, and Antilles may explode but this is just my $.02
You're using logic here? How dare you? :biggrin:
