The function of that crowbar that review sites received earlier is now known...The card cannot be reviewed as the official driver has yet to be released on 30th April USA time.

Weapon's grade, lol

Maybe some of you can unravel this riddle:
0b1010110010
BT-7.080
G08-H86-A000
If you can’t then I will help you – 1010110010 in binary means 690 in decimal number system.
 
Also, why is everyone starting to put the 7970 in a bulldozer perspective? 7970 is a great card. And I was an owner of a GTX680.
 
How exactly when NVIDIA has only 1 GPU released after 7 series and usually out of stock?

Nvidia currently owns the fastest single GPU card and soon to be dual gpu card. Amd needs to lower prices more. 399.99 7970's please 😀

So you think AMD will lower prices because someone from marketing put a gfx in wodden box? - well it is the purpose, as they dont sell any cards in meaningfull numbers themselves, but dont have to high hopes 🙂

NV issue earning warnings, and at the same time all the fans celebrate. Are you masochistic?

Do i think amd will lower prices? Ofcourse not. They've enjoyed ripping us off for months and yes i am 😉
 
Some day a thread will exist that doesn't devolve in to pointless, time wasting, "hurray for my side" back and forths.

That day is not today, sadly. 🙁
 
Has the $1000 price tag been confirmed, or is that just total speculation? $800-850 seems more reasonable for the dual version of a $500 card IMO.

Believe the CEO of Nvidia had announced 1000 would be the price which is bs. 849.99 would have been perfect.
