    it seems real or like a pretty good made fake, but if real, card looks weird.

    PS, ive checked Picture again, and it is not faked from HD7990, it seems really authentic.

    boxleitnerb - he said, its faked, cause someone on B3D forun said it, Like in LordEC911 history million times before, and million times before wrong

    A forum that doesn't require registration. So, anyone can post whatever they want and "leaks" posted there could be genuine or a 12 year olds photoshop.

    Generally not considered as reliable as review sites articles as there is no accountability.

    IF you are going to talk to me/about me at least make sense...

    Edit- A 7970 sized PCB isn't going to have PCB tabs in the same place as a 12" card...
    Nor is it going to have the PCI-e connectors hanging over the side of the PCB, because guess what, there isn't a second core forcing it to the edge.

    No new VGAs at E3, probably, no new Radeons before the end of the year? Definitely not

    If that card is 90% of a Titan and costs $550 they can tie a beer can to it with zip ties and I'll buy one.

    I can confirm that it won't be 90% as fast... That implies that it is slower AMD can and has done better than that

    Damien, from HFR, did some investigations about AMD GPU's horizon during the Computex.
    His article is really worth reading, as usual :

    All AMD partners are agree on the fact that the current situation is no longer tenable long. It needs new products and quicker. If we always expect for the arrival of new GPU Radeon this fall, some AMD partners believe, them, there could be new at the end of the summer.

    LOL look to this guys

    AMD Will Take Radeon HD 8900 Series To Hawaii




    As opposed to our previous report from January, the Radeon HD 8000 series would mostly make use of a single GPU, with many cut-down derivatives (somewhat similar approach to NVIDIA?s Kepler GK104). From the latest Catalyst 13.6 BETA2 driver we learn that AMD added the support for multiple Hawaii processors. SemiAccurate made a detailed analysis of the data and confronted them with the recent rumors. Apparently the Curacao is not the name for the upcoming AMD Radeon HD 8970′s processor.

    The Gemini is often used for dual-gpu models. It is believed that Hawaii GL Gemini is the FirePro model. Furthermore the 40 in the Hawaii GL40 name could suggest that the full processor might hold up to 2560 stream processors (40 CUs). We also have a Hawaii XTGL which could feature even more units, but this is just a theory suggested by SemiAccurate.

    The Hawaii Pro, XT and LE are nothing else than new Radeon GPUs. The Radeon HD 8970 will most likely end up with the Hawaii XT GPU, whereas the Hawaii Pro may be used for HD 8950. We also have LE-part which could end up with the HD 8870 or HD 8930 graphics cards. Below you have a small prediction for the Radeon models. The official Catalyt 13.6 BETA2 driver included a lot of Radeon HD 8000 graphics cards, although we don?t know if the codes are related to the rebranded OEM parts or the upcoming retail cards.

    The Radeon HD 8000 series are currently scheduled for September, however there?s a possibility AMD may show the cards in yet summer.
    so what we've seen before this was BS?? damn

    FWIW...AMD is supposed to be skipping the HD8000 series and jumping to the 9000 series to be launched in October.

    It's really just a naming convention skip due to the oem 8000 series remarketing.

    The reason for skipping the HD 8000 series is most likely because AMD are already re-badging HD 7000 series GPU's as HD 8000 series parts to OEMs.
