ATI 6000 series rumoured to be launched next month!

That's right folks. If you aren't aware of it, the latest model is HD5970 which they call now the world fastest graphic card (probably not the fastest if the 6000 series is launched). Well in that case, higher number in the model (let's say 4850 and 5450) doesn't mean it is better or it is more expensive. It is just the specifications that matters, not the model number. It is just for reference. Anyway, ATI don't just give all the victory to Nvidia although they do have launched a few new graphic card which indeed a good card according to most reviews (and affordable too, in some way). That is why probably the 6000 series might have a graphic card which is better, faster and cheaper than the GTX 460 (Nvidia latest card with ranking number 1 if compared performance to price ratio), If they do, first thing that is gonna happen is the price drop on the GTX 460, GTS 450 and so does the other graphic cards. ATI have to be careful not to release a too good graphic card or else their own product price would be deduced as well. 


Still, I don't lose my hopes on the red team. They do have some advantages over Nvidia.  ATI now have a couple of tricks behind their sleeves. According to this source, there are two models which will overtake the two old models,  5770 and 5850. 5850's price is almost the same price as GTX 460 (or even higher) but their performance are similar. An OCed (overclocked) GTX 460 can outperform a 5850. Ok, I think I should stop before you guys go confuse. The two 6000 series cards were rumoured to be out mid October 2010. By any means, it's just a couple of weeks away! Be aware of the news :D (which you can find it here by that time)
