1. The HD 8970 will use the same TSMC's 28nm process. 2. This review shows that Tahiti have ~35% bandwidth left. 3. 7950 = 7 CU-Array (28 CU), 7970 = 8 CU-Array (32 CU). I believe that AMD will add only 2 CU-Array (+30%) to his "Tahiti-next". HD 8950 = 9 CU-Array (36 CU), 8970 = 10...

36 CU = 1 CU-Array (4 CU) for redundancy ?

As if you were there ! Turn on your speakers, increase the volume (a little bit), and watch this video: YouTube :shock: EDIT From inside: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Lxp0F3_4Y From outside: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhJzdtzl6KY :runaway...

459,00 € PALIT GeForce GTX 580 446,49€ INNO 3D GeForce GTX 580 HD 6970 (479€) will be slower than a GTX 580 (446€) ? :???:

Another one bites the dust !

I believe there are 2 possibilities: a. 30 SIMD (1920 ALUs) divided into 2 blocks, 120 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. b. 24 SIMD (1536 ALUs) divided into 2 blocks, 96 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. Now, which one is the most likely? The fastest 2Gb GDDR5 memory on the market runs at 6 GHz: · Elpida 50nm @...

Maybe it's another fake... :???: ... maybe not. · Difference in size between the "3" and the "0". · Different font for the "30" and the "32". · GDDR5 @ 5 GHz seems too slow especially since 2Gb @ 6 GHz is available from Hynix (H5GQ2H24MFR-R0C), Samsung (K4G20325FC-HC03), and Elpida...

Watts: 5870 = 188W. Cayman > 225W < 300W ~= 250W. 32% more. SIMD: 5870 = 320 SIMD. Cayman (1536 ALUs) = 384 SIMD. 20% more. GDDR5: 5870 = 4.8 GHz. Cayman ~= 5.75 GHz. 20% more. Cayman should be at least 20% more powerful than Cypress at the same frequency. I expect the 6970 to be...

... while retaining a very high gross margin. :shock: ASUS DirectCU TOP GeForce GTX 460 (~370mm²) : $129.99 + Free Shipping + Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 (value: $49.99) :runaway: How can they do that ?! :shocked:

1920x1080 = 2073600 pixels If each pixel = 1 triangle, we have 2 Mtris/frame. For 40 FPS we needs 83 Mtris. Add EyeFinity with 3 x 24" LCD: 3 x 83 Mtris = 249 Mtris. Add 3D over EyeFinity: 2 x 249 Mtris = 498 Mtris. If I made no mistake, EyeFinity 3D (1920x1080) with 1 triangle per pixel...

Red queen Ruby vs green king Jen-Hsun. :razz:

MSI HD 6870 spotted... EyeFinity IV this time. :smile:

France: GTX 460 768 MB = 144,90€ with no rebate, or 139,99€ after 20€ rebate. HD 5830 1 GB = 143.52€ with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Germany: GTX 460 768 MB = 131,58€ HD 5830 1 GB = 144,90€

While we can't use GFLOPS to compare a GeForce vs Radeon, we can use it to compare 2 different Radeon. When doing so a Radeon HD6850 (1488 GFLOPS) ~ HD 5770 (1360 GFLOPS), and a HD6870 (2016 GFLOPS) ~ HD 5850 (2088 GFLOPS). Maybe, but the Radeon HD5830 offers 1792 GFLOPS vs 1360 for the...
