Tahiti, the Radeon HD 7970 XT graphics chip, the model is prepared to offer today, announcing the sale, and on January 9, AMD, HD 7000 series continues to work for other members. The Radeon HD 7950 Radeon HD 7970'in low-cost alternative, which will continue with the company, probably in February together with (China may be the end or the beginning of February due to holidays) will be introduced the Radeon HD 7800 series graphics cards.
To give full value even with 4.3 billion transistors and the 4,312,711,873 Tahiti XT graphics chip, advertises itself as the world's most powerful and advanced GPU, AMD in the first quarter of next year, with this chip, the Radeon HD 7990 model by introducing the pair. AMD's official documents that appear for the first time and formality of the same document will be launched in the first quarter, winning a new dual GPU graphics card, the company designs Based on the previous dual-GPU model, with two of Tahiti XT graphics chip would produce. In this context, parallel processing units 2 x 2048 (Radeon core), 2x 384-bit memory bus, 6GB (?) GDDR5 memory capacity of 2 x 2 x 128 texture units and 64 ROP units that are expected to have the video card clock speeds of the net at the moment to say something about While it is difficult to have a single-GPU Radeon HD 7970'den probable low.
Depending on the speed of the graphics chips working at the level of 6 + single-precision teraflops of computing performance is expected to offer DirectX 11.1 compatible graphics card, for those who want even more with Quad Crossfire technology will allow the four-GPU system installations. The Radeon HD 7000 series PCIe 3.0, which will host at the new features, such as ZeroCore and PowerTune suspension unless the card is expected to be launched in March, the recommended retail price of the end user has no clear information yet about.

Considering they were spot on about most everything with Tahiti and the source of many of the early leaks, I am inclined to believe them.

7970 is $549, how much is the 7990 going to be ? I think we are going to see an $850 video card in March.

Hoping the 7850 is fairly cheap myself, I would like to have one of these new radeons as I am taking the pass on the 7970. Wonder how my wife would feel about a 7850 for her birthday...

If it's 2gb and ~ 6950 performance-wise then she'd probably be pretty happy with you. You have to time it right, however. My wife was ecstatic when I installed an ssd in her new dv7tqe. Unfortunately, she also had a cold for 3 days, and you'd be amazed at all the crap that a guy can do to piss his wife off/kill the mood when he's given 3 days with which to work...

Sounds reasonable to me, get the 7990 out around the earliest time NVIDIA can field it's first 28nm parts. Soften any potential performance comparison. Shame NVIDIA isn't known for driving GPU prices downwards via aggressive pricing, I just can never get myself to want to pay more than ~$200 for a GPU.

Are you smoking that ganja or did you forget this thing called the GTX 460?

 

[Vesku]

Didn't realize the 460 was high end... Also, I dislike rebates.

GTX 460 forced the price of AMD 5850 and 5870 down and to some extent even the GTX 470 because it overclocked so well and was cheap to buy. So yes I would say it was between mid-high end.

8800GT as well.

Line up looks solid:
7990 - $800(?)
7970 - $550
7950 - $450(?)
7870 - $350(?)
7850 - $250(?)
7770 - $200(?)
7750 - $150(?)

And all the other irrelevant 7000 series cards after. Man I hope nVidia comes out with something fast, it doesn't look like the mid range is getting any better now that AMD has stretched the high end prices higher.

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

Maybe the 7990 is going to be a $900-$1000 card.

Seeing as the card will probably be two 7970 cores downclocked to 7950 speeds it seems possible.

 

[tviceman]

Most reviewers are saying the hd7970 is one of the loudest cards they've tested. How much louder can a hd7990 get? I *really* loathe loud systems. Hence why I always end up buying cards with custom AIB coolers.

Really ?? One year after HD6970 ($369) was released, with a new 28nm and we going to pay the same for ~the same performance ?? Even at the same process at 40nm we had alomst the same performance at a lower price a year after(6870 vs 5870).

Im saying this all along since HD7970 was released at $549 a few days ago, HD7870 canot be launched costing higher than $240-249 and that will make HD7970 price look even worst.

I agree with you, and I'd hope the markets dictate a shift. As nVidia ramps closer to Keplar, I'd hope AMD responds with a price cut.

7870 has to be in the $200-250 range to make sense - else, we're all boned haha.

Who's going to make them? I don't think they will release a HD 7870 for less then $300. I also believe that if HD 7870 is going to use GCN that it will be faster than HD 6970 but we'll have to wait and see.

Is the 7870 still using VLIW4, or GCN? Even so, it will OC higher. Same stock clock on 28nm, no reason these wont OC as high as the 7970.

AMD will not make it faster than HD6970 simple because it would be close to HD7950 territory

I believe HD7870 will be between HD6950 and HD6970, just like HD6870, which will replace.

HD79xx, HD78xx and HD77xx series are GCN

 

[fourdegrees11]

HD79xx, HD78x and HD 77xx series are GCN

It should be marginaly faster then a 6970 at stock clocks then, which fits into AMDs price/performance product scale. When oc'd to 1100+ mhz it will be significantly faster then a 6970.

 

[StinkyPinky]

I really hope it's not $350 for a 7870

 

[Vipeax]

Will just leave this here...

8800GT revolutionized what it meant to have a ~$200 GPU, and it was shockingly close to high end. Remember how hard it could be to get one, and the 30%+ price-gouging?

 

[Mistwalker]

If true it really flies in the face of "the 7970 being a short-lived part, due for a respin in a few months." Honestly I thought that sounded plausible, and I'd much rather they refine this initial attempt at a GCN part before they sandwich two together--especially since Nvidia likely won't have an answer in that space for some time anyway.

Just seems like they're jumping the gun a bit...or worried Nvidia is ready to get high end parts out faster than expected.

Unless...

Will just leave this here...

...the 7990 (like the 7970) is only going to be their first dual-GPU part, with that unnamed "Future Dual-GPU Product" getting a 7980 refresh treatment with the rest of the line.

 

[Pacman4]

I really hope it's not $350 for a 7870

It will be, and then they'll go broke.
We really need some of the big CE co's to buy this lot out so we can get some proper competition and pricing.....but AMD atm is a joke.

Yeah, pricing your products based on the competitor's price/performance is a joke.

I'm brand agnostic. I've owned 5 nvidia cards and 1 AMD card and you need to ease off the green coolaid.

If this launches in Feb, what will Nvidia have at the $350 price point? I'm going to go out on a limb and say a 1536 GCN core part will be will be faster. Clock for clock it's faster then a 6970 already, add a 200mhz OC and it's not even close.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

In all of this I hear nothing about the 7950 from AMD. What if they pulled the biggest switcheroo in history and the 7970 was their 5850/6950 of this generation and they released some beastly 7980 as their single card king.

I'm dangerously close to pulling the trigger on one of these on the 9th.
