The attentive newshounds over at AnandTech have picked out a golden nugget of disclosure from AMD's earnings call last night, citing CEO Dirk Meyer as saying "we will be launching our second-generation DX11 graphics offerings next week." What he's talking about, of course, is the highly anticipated refresh of the Radeon HD 5000 series, which some recent spec leaks suggested would bring a healthy bump in performance. After announcing the new product line next week, AMD promises to flood the market with "hundreds of thousands of units," which will be shipping before the end of this quarter -- meaning you'll have a Radeon HD 6xxx in time for the holiday gaming craze if you really want it. Can't ask anymore than that, now can we?

So we will see 6xxx cards by christmas! Just in time to get your PC updated for Crysis 2

I almost bought an HD 5xxx over the summer, but thought that it might be a good idea to wait until the fall for a new line, and spend my money on better performance. Glad I waited.

Any news on nVidia's 5xx series?

Check the site, nvidia.com/technologies. The new series is still in the making, probably out by late 2011.

Does anyone know how much the 6870 and the 6890 is going to cost???

i heard that Nvidia GTX580 will come in december after AMD...

shouldnt be the Nvidia GTX680?Because if they jumped from GTX 2xx series to GTX 4xx ,why wouldnt they jump a serie again?unless u guys have already seen some statement from Nvidia saying its gonna be 5xx and not 6xx

I hope not. I can't stand these stupid namebranding marketing tricks that Nvidia always loves to do.
