Still a great looking Direct X 10 game, but it doesn't prove any problem for the leading hardware. the HD7970 is significantly ahead of the GTX580 and the last generation HD6970.
Finally! I’ve been looking forward to AMD giving nvidia a bloody nose!
wow thats a hell of a fast piece of hardware. nice job from AMD
Well after bulldozer they needed to do something, this is it.
but its not a direct replacement for 6970, its a completely new price category, more than GTX580. 6970 was much cheaper.
hey, I wonder how nvidia will respond to this, thats an insanely powerful card. Only concern for me is the price. Ive seen the 6990 on sale for £499.
Very nice, but im more interested in the 7950, and the pricing. this is just too expensive IMO.
Good performance, and nice to see them improving the cooler a little. the HD6990 cooler is insanely loud. I am surprised that it doesn’t cost around £399 inc vat as AMD have always been competitive on pricing. t his seems over the odds IMO.
AMD Radeon HD 7970 a little disappointing. I hope the HD 7970 uses ultra-fast memory such as Rambus XDR2 and able to achieve perfect HQV score of 120. The use of PCI Express 3.0 by the HD 7970 also does not provide significant improvement.
