March 6th for Pitcairn, so next week.
Last I heard the 7800 series was supposed to launch this month, on March 6th. It'll be launched very soon.
Are you sure this will be the actual RTW date or is that when AMD is unveiling the specs?

Why be surprised? Remember the FX promising to usher in "The Dawn of Cinematic Computing" with Toy Story like graphics? Nvidia knows how to hype a product.All this hype seems really fishy...
Lol, what a worthless statement... AMD could have said the exact same for the 7970, since it leaves the competition in the dust
All this hype seems really fishy...
Since all NVIDIA regularly has is hype, it's no wonder they got good at it.Why be surprised? Remember the FX promising to usher in "The Dawn of Cinematic Computing" with Toy Story like graphics? Nvidia knows how to hype a product.
Ohhhhh he did that!

Nice edit, good to know how way out there you are.
Title: Nvidia might be faster than AMD, like they were last gen, and the gen before that, and the gen before that, and the gen before that.
Response: Rage!!!!!!!!
even if AMD released a 20% faster card than the 7970 that would still only mean 40-45% faster than a gtx580. do you actually think Nvidia is going to be less than 40% faster than the gtx580 for their fastest single gpu card? I am guessing even the gtx670 could be 40% faster than the gtx580. well at least what was originally planned to be the gtx670 certainly was.Yes as long as you ignore the HD 5970 and the HD 6990 while counting the GTX 295 it seems.
AMD has plenty of head room for a super over clocked 7970/7990 and they still haven't released a 7990/7970 x2.

Except you 'conveniently' forgot that what NVIDIA will be bringing to this fight is GK104, not GK110. That means the 50-60% speedup we see each generation + new process will not be in play here. So no, them launching a card in April that will be 50-60% faster on average than the GTX 580 will almost certainly prove impossible. The GTX 680, at the very most, will be 15% faster than the HD 7970, a card 20% faster than the GTX 580.
http://www.overclock.net/t/1023310/bulldozer-questions-from-an-intel-user/0_100#post_13637445I'm saying Bulldozer, since it'll obviously have higher IPC than Phenom II and since you said it won't match Sandy Bridge in gaming.
Even if Bulldozer matches Nehalem in IPC, we're looking at a difference of 5 FPS or so in games. Hardly what you'd call "world-changing".
I did not forget at all. in fact I thought I made it clear by saying their "fastest single gpu card" and "well at least what was originally planned to be the gtx670 certainly was."Except you 'conveniently' forgot that what NVIDIA will be bringing to this fight is GK104, not GK110.

Honestly LOL your predictions have zero merit, in fact after your constant bulldozer pandering on OCN I'm sure you'll understand why nobody else would take anything you say seriously.

in case you still have trouble comprehending that, it means the GK104 will not be their fastest single gpu card and was likely originally slated to be a gtx660 not a gtx670 or gtx680.
Are you hoping that whatever AMD releases as a refresh to Tahiti absolutely slaughters Nvidia's flagship?I think what really needs to be said, but nobody is saying it (til now) is that many really just "hope" that it's all just hype. Many don't, and some just don't care. And I think we can all see what the other thinks by now.
I for one hope Kepler (GK104) absolutely slaughters 7970 for less money. Will that happen? I certainly hope so but I doubt it.
my point was already made. I was saying that Nvidias top single gpu would easily be faster than just 40-45% over the gtx580 so just a faster clocked 7970 card would not do. heck maybe even the gk104 is that fast as we do not know. of course both companies can go back forth and come out with new cards but that does not change my point.And your point is? GK110 products won't launch until Q3 or Q4 2012. The HD 6970 was replaced as AMD's flagship video card in only one year or a year and a month, depending on if you're looking at the paper or hard launch. What makes you think that AMD can't do the same thing again and in Q4 2012 release the HD 8970 as their new flagship graphics card along with the rest of the series?
