What's the latest word on the 7000 series from AMD?

It will be launched sometime in the future and will have better performance than the 6000 series.

Unless they decide to rebadge a 6000 series as 7000 series.

I don't think there's been any more news. Should hopefully know more in about two weeks as Computex and E3 are both coming up.
 
Im pretty sure the nanosecond some info come up (true or false) it will be posted here. Not much need to ask.

The 3000 series chips had worse performance that 2000. You had to Crossfire them to get them to be faster.

I don't remember it that way. The 3870 had roughly the same specs but a faster core clock and less memory bandwidth. The 2900 had more memory bandwidth than it needed. At times the 2900XT was faster, but more often than not the 3870 was faster. Of course none of this really mattered because almost everyone had an 8800. 😉
 
you guys are talking about ancient history video card wise i think perhaps the 7000 series will be much better bad enough their highest performance single gpu card just about outwits the gtx570 be a damn shame if we dont have something to compete against the gtx580 to lower its price,that $500 hurts the wallet

I hope it's a substantial gain and not the ~10% we got from the previous gen.

I would venture to guess that if the 7000 series (or 600 series for that matter) has to come out on 40nm again it won't be any more of an improvement. Since it apparently won't be on the same process, I think it's a pretty safe bet it will be a more substantial improvement.

I had to read this 3 times. Not to be a grammar Nazi, but at least a period here and there would help.
 
This is the 3rd forum/thread ive involved myself in and theres always some sort of grammer nazi in each of them.

I thought i was giving input to what the op asked,not writing a award winning king novel,but apparently i was wrong.
 
Just because of this,im gonna put a thread in the offtopic social forums just so the grammer nazis can get their fix in.

Happy trolling 😛
 
On the up-side, he's now adding punctuation and paragraphs. Win all round.

On the down-side, three posts in row. Either he's talking to himself or he's lost the Edit button. 🙂

Swearing is not permitted in the tech forums, might want to refresh on the rules.

Sadly double- (and triple- and quintuple-) posting is not against the rules...

As for the 7000 series, there is no reason to think there won't be significant performance gains. Using the current generation's moderate bump is a bad idea because of the whole "stuck on 40nm" business.
 
I just placed an order for a 6970, so I expect 7 series to be released pretty much as soon as it's too late for me to cancel my order. Give it 12 hours.
