When is AMD 7000 series arriving

[Jacky60]

A bit underwhelmed by the 6900 series and neither it nor 580 enough of an upgrade. When can we expect 7000 series from AMD and 680 GTX or similar from Nvidia?

2011, second half. Most probably.

round and round and round it goes, where it stops?

Nobody Knows.

No earlier than 2H 2011.

If you thought 40nm ramp was slow and painful by spanning most of 2009 and a bit of Q1 2010, wait and see what the industry has in store for you at 28nm with the transition to HK/MG slowing things down all the more.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if we are buying 28nm-based gpu's from Newegg in Q1 2012.

We're looking at Q3 2011 at the earliest.

I hope not. We have grossly violated Moores law on GPUs this year.

Lets send AMD and Nvidia to engineering jail

I belive this above... if they say Q2... then its probably more like Q3

5970 and 5870 @900/1200 (1.162 vcore 5970)

3x 5870's in crossfire ^-^ you really dont need more horse power do you?

 

[dlamb2471]

Based on the 40nm experience...yeah it seems very unlikely that we'll see 28nm in volume until 2012.

What can you expect? GTX480 and 5970 were already pushing the PCI-e limits on power, and they didn't have the expected 32nm die shrink to work with. I think they've both done very well given the cards they've been given.

 

[Rhezuss]

I don't get those kind of questions so soon after a release...you people!!!!!!

Keep your current cards, they'll serve you well for a long time.

 

[Kenmitch]

As others have stated it's gonna be awhile....But with Intel planting the seed for fabbing out I guess it's a possiblility that AMD or Nvidia could strike some kind of deal to get a head start on the competition.

That would pleasantly fall within my required 2-year minimum before I can upgrade again the GF pushed on me

My 5870 is holding strong! And so far only Crysis 2 seems like the variable. Most other announce games don't seem to be hardware extensive.

Tell her your 5870 broke so you need to buy a replacement. She won't know that you're crossfiring them, girls are stupid.

Tell her that you have a 2-year upgrade cycle on GFs like that.

According to a news post apparnetly Q1 2012 but i haven't heard it anywhere else though and it didn't really say any source or quotation. But yeah Summer 2011 probably to Q4 2011 my bet is.

Unfortunately we will have to suffer through a zillion posts about the awesomeness of an unreleased GTX "660" before the 28nm parts arrive.

Not to mention what crazy mad overclockers they will be(oops I did mention it).
I can almost write the posts now and just add the OPs sig on demand.

I don't see why anyone would wait for the 7000 series when the GTX660 will indeed like you say be awesome and beat it all and be released soon. It would be a waste and a stupid idea to buy a 7000 series card no matter when they come out.

 

[Will Robinson]

+1 for unfortunate but probably true humor:sneaky:
Actually the die shrink and new architecture available with the 7000 series cards ought to provide some serious horsepower improvements.
Who cares if a GTX"660" already owns us....loyalty FTW!:hmm:
HP will probably join this thread soon...unless he's on XMAS holidays....:whiste:

Off Topic...Merry Xmas to the staff of AT and cool forum members.
I guess I speak for most here in that we appreciate the site a lot and all the work that goes into keeping it up and running.

 

[Rifter]

I would say we will be lucky if we can buy them by next x-mas, probably early 2012.

 

[Tsavo]

This makes me wonder if some people spend more time dreaming about upcoming cards than using the ones they already own.

 

[Kuzi]

Q4 2011 should be doable

I haven't got time to use the cards I own-I spend all day trying to keep up with whats coming next.
I guess I could unbox them over the xmas period.
