where did you get that date from?560 due January 6th or something, no?
yeah I was looking at that but the gtx460 is a better deal IMO. if I had a slower card then I would jump on one of these 460 deals. its just not a big enough jump from my 260 though.I just got a 6850 for $155.

If it was going to be that big of a jump, I imagine they would have made sure to have the 69xx reviewed with those drivers. It may improve performance some, but I wouldn't expect anything drastic.Yea, but ATI said the 10.12 drivers are going to give a huge performance jump for the HD6xxx series.
Where??
btw, I'm in CA so tax kills a lot of Newegg deals for me lol
I thought the 10.12 drivers were already out and showed no notable change for the 6850/6870.Yea, but ATI said the 10.12 drivers are going to give a huge performance jump for the HD6xxx series.

yeah I know I have seen at least a couple of reviews and some user comments. supposedly its the usual driver release where some things get improved while other stuff gets broken. there was basically no performance difference for a 6850 and some games even lost a frame or two.Oh, no idea they were out now :x
Newegg, they had $15 off code and the card comes with a $15 rebate.

I think improvements will come over time. Remember both the GTX 4xx and the HD 5xxx gained noticeable gains throughout the year, it's more likely that AMD will have performance increases for the HD 69xx series though since it just came out with a newer architecture.yeah I know I have seen at least a couple of reviews and some user comments. supposedly its the usual driver release where some things get improved while other stuff gets broken. there was basically no performance difference for a 6850 and some games even lost a frame or two.
what brank? link? closest i found was the Sapphire 6850 for $169 AR
yeah but we are talking about the 6850 which is just a tweaked architecture. there are likely to be no notable performance increases for it from newer drivers.I think improvements will come over time.
