    CUDA, obviously, and it's more popular / convenient than OpenCL...
    Their virtualization features are also very neat, but I haven't worked with them, so cannot comment on it.

    Right now it's actually pretty simple. If you really want OpenCL only, you buy AMD. Otherwise, for GPGPU you buy Nvidia... And no, I don't mean gaming cards.
    Yes, you mean gaming CARD: Titan, Quadro for best price

    Pretty impressive if it has 512-bit memory bus. Bandwidth would be insane. Wondering about pricing, though...

    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.

    Yep that's 512bit memory, each chip handles 32bits of the crossbar.

    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.

    Ofc it have dual bios.. It wa surely the best idea they have got for 7970 ( and 6970 maybe )... they will not remove it.

    Clean and nice PCB.

    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:

    -They have a big enough perimeter to do so
    -They can fit that 512-bit bus in the same or less area as Tahiti's 384-bit bus, as per Dave B
    -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 ed up the Desktop CPU's

    This is possible to see titan behind. I think its gonna happen.



    But, If I would be you, I would be angry at nVidia to pay so much, for getting the top of frame for only a few months.

    And its not 500$, but 1000$ ...
