On top of saving for Sandybridge need to save a little for one of these.

AMD Radeon HD 6870 Reference Design Looks Refined, Ready to Market
Here it is, the AMD Radeon HD 6870, all dressed up to go to work. There has been quite some speculation surrounding the naming scheme AMD is going to adopt with the HD 6000 series, but fresh information suggestively lays some of that to rest. Firstly, Radeon HD 6800 series is built around the "Barts" GPU, not "Cayman". Barts is a new performance GPU, though isn't the highest-end single GPU from AMD (which is reserved for Cayman). Barts "XT" is Radeon HD 6870, and Barts "Pro" is HD 6850. Pictured below is the HD 6870. At a purely subjective glance, the HD 6870 reference design card seems to be as long as the HD 5850 reference.

The new Radeon logo has been Photoshopped on to the fan, so the products in market will definitely do away with the older ATI logo. The rear panel resembles that of the Radeon HD 5800 series, except that the exhaust grille seems slightly wider, there are two DVI-I connectors, one standard HDMI, and two mini DisplayPort connectors for a change. The connector output sharing scheme isn't known right now, it could be 3 or 4 head Eyefinity, or all-out 5 head Eyefinity, a yet to be detailed "Eyespeed" feature is mentioned. We will definitely know more about this card in the weeks to come.

Am I reading this correctly? 6870 will be 20% faster than a GTX 460 and around $250? Am I missing something? Shouldn't the 6870 be going up against the GTX 480 and around $500? I think there is a typo or something.

Radeon HD 6870 faster than GTX 460

Some 20+ percent

The latest that we have gathered about AMD's controversial new graphics cores, codenamed Barts (not Simpson ed.) claim that Radeon HD 6870 should easily be faster than a Geforce GTX 460 1GB.

This also implies that this card should be priced slightly higher than a Geforce GTX 460 1GB, so we expect that Radeon HD 6870 should cost around €250 / $250 USD if not a few bucks cheaper.

We are hearing that the performance gain on average with the new Barts XP part is around 20 to 25 percent but on the same time, we hear that Radeon HD 6870 won't be that much faster than the current 5870.

The good part is that despite the controversies Cayman XP and PRO cards should ship in about a month's time, being significantly faster than Cypress based Radeon HD 5870 series available today.

The official launch should take place next week.

Nope. According to the internet, they changed the naming scheme again. 6800 series will be in a hybrid performance bracket like the 5830, 5770 and such was in. I'm guessing the performance bracket, aka 5850 & higher, will be 6900?

I heard a rumor that the new high end will be a 6970 and not the 6870. If that's true then I think the dual core cards will return to the X2 label, aka 6970X2

Yup thats what the rumors suggest. Also as per that TPU article, a few cards will be simply rebranded from 57XX to 67XX.
