Radeon HD 7000 Revealed: AMD to Mix GCN with VLIW4 & VLIW5 Architectures

[Lanek]

It better score at least 10K in 3dmark2011 graphics total score, but according to ORB leak it will be only ~7000?

I hope hes faking it lol, that's what i get now when i OC my 570gtx to 950mhz

Dunno I have 10K ( graphic score ), with 2x 5870@1040ghz. + 2600K@5.2ghz. ( no mipmap etc )

Gpu score or total score?


At first i was hopping for ~ 14K by gpu P score, lol now im at 10K.. Imo anything lower is really a let down.


Those 64 tessellator engines should do some magic.. and its just a 1280x720 reso for Christ sake lol

graphic score only (not Pscore ).. If we speak about Pscore: GTX590 stock = 8800-9000 and 6990 score in the 9300 ....even a GTX580SLI pull just 10K score. ( stock speed ofc ). (i have take thoses number in the review of thoses cards, so drivers have maybe increase a little bit the scores then .) 14K for a single GPU is a little bit unrealistic ( i think scores dont scale really well, due to the numbers of test, their different nature, and the way they are calculate).

(for add to the example 2x 590 SLI ( quad SLI ) score 13425 and 2x 6990 ( quadcfx ) score 13734 )

Ok tnx, i guess 10K P gpu score isn't so bad, that's if it scores 10K at all hehe

Last time I checked, the HD6970 scored something like... P5500 or P6000 (correct me if I'm wrong). I think you shouldn't expect more than P7500~P8000. It has 33% more shaders, and a new architecture, why would you expect it to run almost twice as the last gen?

My guess is somewhere between ~7000 and ~7500, and it would be very nice. If it hits 8000 overclocked I could swap my HD5850 Crossfire for one HD7970. I hit something like 8800, but when performance is almost identical, 1 card >>> 2 cards.


Edit: Oh, my mistake. Sorry, I thought you were talking about overall score. I don't pay much attention to the GPU score, so I don't really know.

It's really not easy to compare the actual SP on Cayman, and the GCN architecture, it will be too long to explain it here but Anandtech have make a good and understandable preview in June http://www.anandtech.com/show/4455/a...-for-compute/3

Again, i dont know how it will perform, I just explain it is hard to compare SP numbers. It will be possible if it was a die shrink of the Cayman VLIW4 port, But hardly with this architecture.
