Hardocp called it like it is. AMD hyped this up as much as possible. In the end, their hype was empty. They delayed legitimate reviews because the card wouldn't be able to handle a legitimate review.

I thought everyone loved Gal Civ 2?

The GTX 660 Ti isn't going to have a chance at keeping up with such reduced memory bandwidth.

The expectations that some people have with these RMAs are just unreal. You are literally complaining about the serial number not being a number you like.

Come on, everyone knows that all 7XXX series cards can overclock to at least 1.5GHz. If you don't compare Nvidia cards at stock to AMD cards at 1.5GHz, then you are a Nvidia shrill, fanboy, and employee. Anyways, on planet reality, the GTX 670 is always the better choice.

' So the 7950 is better than the GTX 670 because the GTX 670 "cheats" by getting more performance in games, and the 7950 is better because it has extra Vram and memory bandwidth that doesn't actually translate into higher performance in games that aren't Crysis 1? Okay.

Just buy an SSD to make up the difference

So Crysis 1 and Metro 2033 prove that an overvolted 7950 that uses about 50% to 70% more power than a cheaper and quieter GTX 670 is better because these two games are slightly better than the GTX 670? Okay. Whatever dude. I guess if you put 1.5 volts into the 7950 and invest in a liquid...

If the 7990 is even made, it will be almost completely pointless. The 7970 uses more power than the 6970, and it uses far more power than the actual competition (the GTX 670/680). This means a dual GPU card like the 7990 will have to be underclocked in order to meet power limits. Remember, AMD...

I know at least two of those games have an extreme CPU bottleneck. If you have a severe CPU bottleneck, how are you going to get 100% GPU usage?

This certainly makes EVGA's $1050 price point seem good.

The minimum I would consider right now would be the $388 7950. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161400

You addressed the price part of my argument, and ignored the performance part. It is the combination of the two that is annoying to me. Do you think people would be as annoyed at a $550 price if it was 45-55% better than the GTX 580? My hypothetical argument is about the performance of the...

Or we realize that AMD isn't the only company on the planet that will be making 28nm parts, and Nvidia's 28nm parts should have absolutely no trouble matching a card using 250~ watts and only provides 20% more performance than a GTX 580. Nvidia is so close to the 7970's performance that it...

Power consumption increases as temperature increases. Does it really make that big of a difference? Who knows.

It should be a lot more than 25% better since this is a "real" generation improvement due to the die shrink. I don't imagine Nvidia's 5-6 billion transistor 28nm chip being "only" 25% better than the GTX 580.

How is a lawsuit from 2004 about software from the 1990's just making it to court at the end of 2011?

The first DS got clobbered by the PSP in sales until the DS Lite was released.

I mean seriously. How much money are they spending to air drop wi-fi tablets to remote jungle tribe people?

Note the use of the ancient I7-920 in his "reviews" combined with automatic benchmark tools that greatly reduce CPU load also note the lack of frame graphs to show consistency.

I need an SSD because I an using a mechanical hard drive for my main drive.

The stock is going to shoot up like crazy the day of the IPO.

AMD intentionally shipped garbage motherboards to reviews in order to get worse reviews! Also, anyone that says otherwise is an Intel shrill, puppet, employee, AND investor. 1) Denial 2) Anger 3) Bargaining 4) Depression 5) Acceptance

You would likely see a performance decrease in older games.

Basically, it is just winrar, POV rendering, and single pass encoding. The fanboys can't find anything else because there isn't anything else.

I have to wonder if these AMD fanboys truly believe themselves, or if they truly know if their brain that their lame, crap excuses are just that.

Biggest let down? Wait until Firefox 6 is released in August. Also note that Firefox 7 will likely hit around September.

Why on Earth does a $36,000 monitor only come with a 2 year warranty?

What graphics card(s) and CPU can run The Witcher 2 completely maxed out with a minimum FPS of 40? 1920x1080 resolution and 4x Anti-Aliasing is required. Absolutely every setting must be maxed out.

How exactly would this work differently than Ebay?

Apparently I cannot delete this post

Crysis 1 had no problem detecting my wired 360 controller in 2008 on my old PC with a X850XT 256MB.

I primarily use newegg for that reason. There really isn't any competition with their ability to sort items usefully. For example, try searching for a GTX 460 1GB on any other site. Amazon will insist on giving links to every GTX 560 1GB, GTS 450 1GB, GTS 550 1GB, and GTX 460 1GB SE mixed...

I'd estimate a 10-20% upgrade. This is not a path I would go down. You would be better served waiting a year for 28nm cards. By then, a real performance increase with should be practical.

"Someone in this forum called the performance increase from GTX 480 to GTX 580 "pathetic". I wonder what's the word used for the performance jump from Cypress to Cayman..." Pathetic is a good word.

Its good that you know the exact performance of the 6970 already.

The problem I have we these leaked numbers is how close the 6870 is to the rumored 6950's performance. I guess the point of the 6950 under these rumors is to compete against the full-powered GF114 GTX 560, but that seems a bit of a tiny performance "tier" to aim a new hyped GPU at. I guess...

The "SE" stands for slow edition.

There are plenty of 125w boards that can't handle a highly overvolted 1055t. The 1055T can push 200w+ when highly overvolted.
