Yes it was their mid range.It was time with AMDs small die strategy...So your saying the 4890, 5780, 6970, and 7970 was their mid range?
Please go back and read Anandtech reviews for the 5870,6970 and 7970 and come back and let me know if they were high end.
4870
5870
6970
7970
all bellow 400mm2
AMd was way ahead of NV before kepler so they compete with small dies vs NV big HIGH-end dies.When kepler launched all changes and Nv was way ahead of AMD because 294mm2 GTX680 beat 350mm2 7970 so AMd was forced make BIG dies like NV
Also 5years on 28nm didnt help amd with small die strategy.Small die strategy is pretty much dead without new nodes.
