As Nvidia has launched its latest GeForce GTX 570 GPU as well as reduced the price of its 400 series GPUs, AMD is set to launch its new Radeon HD 6970 and 6950 GPUs in the third week of December, according to sources from graphics card makers.
However, initial shipment volumes are expected to be limited, the sources noted.
The sources cited its testing figures and pointed out that the GeForce GTX 580 has better performance than AMD's new Radeon HD 6970, therefore AMD is expected to price the GPU US$50-70 less than the GTX 580 to cover the disadvantage.
