This is the 7790 rebadge, right?

Costs $40 more than my new msi r7850 twin frozen cost me last week, but has half the bandwidth and only 3/4 the gpu. Sapphire voids warranty if you take off your shroud to clean dust out of the cooler. No thanks.

Cool. I guess. The HD 7850 and the 650 Ti Boost (arguably the best of the three) still runs all over it,

More or less. There is a difference: The 260x comes with 2GB GDDR5 standard, whereas the 7790 only comes with 1GB; could make a difference in 1080p gaming.

Please AMD, release some working drivers for this HW. I never went through something so stressful - BSODS, screen tears, locked clocks
Even now I'm working with manufacturer initial drivers, with memory clocks stuck at maximum .. at least its not underperforming

There are tons of ppl complaining about this line of cards and AMD just doesnt care

As AMD was gonna make a 7790 rebadge, they should have tried to make it faster than 650 ti boost. AFAIK 260x is a little weaker than a 650 ti boost, isnt it?
