6000 so early ? WTH ? dunno about that - i guess i have to google it.....

I though 5900 series will stay at top for a while....

Doubt prices will come down much. The HD6xxx series will see a soft launch end of October, so will trickle done to your hard supply line by December/January 2011. These cards are the mid segment nVidia (GTX 460/470) killers and a further boost to the existent HD58xx series.
