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

[Andi64]

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.
