Don't quote me on this, but I don't recall seeing one.

Oem's prefer not to have external powers on low end cards.

when are 5770 being rebranded?

i noticed they have been listed as 6770 on AMDs site

[Luger718]

is there gonna be a 6770? i dont think so seeing as the 6870 is the replacement for the 5770

im guessing the 6670 is the new "strongest w/o a power connector

Yes there will be a 6770 and 6750, and i'm afraid your totally wrong about the 6870 being a replacement for the 5770, as per the AMD roadmap http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....110iub994f.jpg

The 5770>6870 was a misconception as the 6870 is the 5870 replacement, and wipes the floor with the 5870 in tesselation and crossfire scaling, most benchmarks and most games.

Was going to add also: Guys beware looking at cards below the number 67xx or 66xx, as although some of them state Dx11 compliant/compatible - they mean exactly that. Just like a 4870 is Dx11 compatible, it's akin to putting a Windows7 logo on the retail box - doesn't mean it'll tessalate anything.

Hmm, every other source I've seen has said the 5870 outperforms the 6870. Also that the 6870 wasn't the replacement for the 5870. The 5870 is better performing...hence the higher price tag.

Also the 5870 has more processing cores and a higher memory bandwidth. To conclude, even if AMD did intend the 6870 to be a replacement to the 5870, it isn't.
