AMD HD7XXX Series - Latest leaked details - Chiphell

I'm not really sure how 60 FPS (minimims) 'dont quite cut it', or 'make the game look like crap' - even on a 120 hz monitor, a pair of GTX 580s arent going to maintain a constant 120 FPS in any modern game.

I have to stop you here. Being a 120Hz user with a single 580 this is totally wrong. 2 580s at 1920x1080 can easily do 100+ min in most current games ( the setup I built for my friend is as such ). And yes 60min on a 120hz display doesn't feel so great I can tell you first hand. Once you are accustomed to 120hz gaming, 60fps on a 120hz display feels like 30fps on a 60hz display. Its kind of a double edged sword as it improves the experience but requires more to do so ( ie those 3gb sli 580 setups )

I agreed with everything you said up until you mentioned 120hz. Its a totally different ball game. As you said, for the most part a single upper mid range gpu can handle games at 60hz @ 1080. I've also ran my 1920x1200 display with various multi gpu setups up until my current setup.


More on topic I'm curious to see how these fare on a smaller process as 45nm has been hampering progress for too long now.
