It will likely have the same memory clock as the GHz edition 7970s. I still don't see myself paying 1k for this card though. It should be priced around $800

Yeah but the real question is, will this be the Titan killer?! Let's see, it's obviously cheaper, BUT more fps!? Stay tuned..!!

It should be able to produce more fps but whether that will translate to smooth gameplay is another matter altogether.

Call me when it's benched with a GTX 690 and Titan.

 

[CheesyHotDogPuff]

$700-800 and amd would have a jewel on their hands.

Call me when it's put through the FCAT tests at PC Perspective.

texture 256gt/s 7970ghz =118.4gt/s i think this chip has some improviments

first off the guy in the picture looks like a D@()che I3ag...secondly this angers me that AMD waited so long to do what Asus did 6 months ago. I understand that AMD is at a point where they are massively at innovation anything new, now they have ppl who want to show off an already obsolete piece of hardware.....Shame on Nvidia andAMD at this point...Since Nvidia can innovate but charges arm and a leg (GTX titan)...and AMD for not even keeping competitive.....sad...very sad..

I'm ready for Crossfire.

 

[eddieroolz]

New trend of GPU makers charging $1000 for their highest-end offering is a bit disappointing to say the least.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I want 2!

Considering that Titan is slower than two HD7970s in CFX and cost as much as 3 HD7970s, it will be.

If AMD keeps working on the latencies in their drivers, hopefully. They have made great progress but haven't even done a beta driver since 3/19 which worries me.

Another weird tid bit here, the Pixel fill rate and the Texture fill rate are wrong for the HD7970 GHz editrion. The GHz Edition does 32 GPixels/s and 128GTexels/s. My Vapor-X does 33.6GPixels/s and 134.4GTexels/s so it makes me want to not truly trust the source.

typo in the first sentence: "ChinaDIY has exposed the final specifications of AMD's upcoming Malta HD 7790 graphics card." .....thought this was the 7990?

 

[ojas]

They should call it the Radeon HD Oylmpian

The latency fixes are not what worries people. It is the lack of frame metering in crossfire which makes their multiple-GPU setups stuttery unless you use a FPS limiter of some sort.

 

[Tanquen]

That is cool and all but what about game that bug out or don't work with/like Crossfire?

 

[footlong96]

Typo. 7990 not 7790....tsk tsk.

 

[Gundam288]

I could have swore that pre-launch AMD stated that the MSRP was going to be around $750 - ~$800. Things may have changed, but I hope not.

 

[alfaalex101]

For reference..a PS4 = 1.84 compared to the AMD 7990 = 8.2

 

[The_Trutherizer]

People say the card is too expensive, but they will sell as many as they manufacture. You can be sure of that. This is gfx card porn.

 

[lhowe005]

So the 5870 MSRP was around $380 and i bought a 5970 for 600 bucks, less than double. A good deal i thought. A 7970 can be had for 400 dollars, and this card is a $1000 bucks, way more than double. Not a good deal.

$1,000? I thought the whole concept of using a smaller die process, 28 nm in this case, was to REDUCE costs which would translate to the customer. It seems the only one benefiting from these reduced production costs is the companies that make the GPUs.
