    1/2 means that if Hawaii has ~5.4TFlops of SP, DP would be ~2.7TFlops.
    7970 had 1/4 DP rate and Titan has 1/3 DP rate.

    Edit- Forgot to ask if anyone knows if DP is important/used for Radeon Sky product line.
    I don't think it would but I'm not sure.

    Re Edit- From some of the marketing/press release docs I found, it doesn't appear to use/need DP at all since the docs make no mention of DP performance.

    Once the government outlaws your guns your life is forfeit. You're already dead, it's just a question of when they are going to get around to you.
