Haha you guys beat me to it by seconds haha
Pretty impressive if it has 512-bit memory bus. Bandwidth would be insane. Wondering about pricing, though...
I mean what I mean. Don't put words in my mouth.Quote:

Seconds are important...:lastweek:

I sense the first stirring of unease in the Nvidiasphere :caution:
Size of a Hynix GDDR5 2Gbit IC is 14x12mm ;)

I think a 512bit memory bus is kind of excessive unless AMD architecture is that reliant on it. I think this kills alot of the bigger spec improvements because such a size bus is going to take up a crazy amount of room.
Or be ~66% of the Tahiti PHY.Quote:

Yep that's 512bit memory, each chip handles 32bits of the crossbar.
crazy ...
512 bits bus back again !!!
with bf4 OMGGGGGGG
Tahiti sized PCB.
8+6pin
6+2 PWM
Looks like 2 DL-DVI + other outputs (yay for when I get my QX/DP2710)
16 memoy ICs all on front, none on back
Has some sort of mod to it, soldered wire.
Also has a switch on it too, maybe it has dual bios...
Ofc it have dual bios.. It wa surely the best idea they have got for 7970 ( and 6970 maybe )... they will not remove it.Quote:

You think AMD is going for 512bit memory now, because being able to transfer a lot of graphical data will become more important, as next gen consoles will be using much larger textures etc as compared to current gen consoles?
AMD is going for 512-bit for two reasons:
1. HPC
2. Efficiency (low clocked 512-bit probably consumes less energy than 384-bit with high clocks)
Most likely, they're going 512-bit because:Quote:

-4GB of memory is a good sweet spot -- 3GB would be underwhelming, and 6GB would be largely unnecessary
-More bandwidth will help with ultra high resolution gaming and performance in general
-A 512-bit interface with slightly lower clocks is probably more energy efficient than a 384-bit interface with bleeding edge clocks
Looks like a solid design choice overall.
hopefully the cooler fan isn't as loud as the 7970's was.
i can see it now this card beating the titan but having a loud cooler and getting horrible reviews lol
It looks quite promising. Beating Titan seems possible.
I have a Geforce Titan but I really hope this AMD card performs really well. We need the competition to move things forwards. AMD already :banana::banana::banana::banana:ed up the Desktop CPU's :(
This is possible to see titan behind. I think its gonna happen.Quote:
