HD 7970 Help

tech savvy said:
AMD should not of aimed for competing against the 5xx series( Fermi), but the 6xx series(Kepler).I'm saying this because, "Fermi" is 40nm and "Tahiti"(AMD) is 28nm, cant really say thats fair really.Of course AMD's new line-up of GPU's are going to be superior to its competitors in all-around performance, its a giving.AMD needs to ride this high horse hard, because when "Nvidia" releases there new line-up(Kepler) @28nm it's going to knock AMD off that high horse.But, hey, thats how it always goes, right?

That is what I tried to explain in the http://www.computerforum.com/205230-radeon-7970-reviews.html thread.

I found this link inside your link. Seems promising.

i beleive ya now haha, i just kept reading everywhere that 600 series was desktop. Seems silly theyve pratically skipped a generation name sake. :/
 
Either way if those early leaks on the geforce are accurate, I emphasize the IF, that is a massive performance boost which may mean it would be worth waiting for the new geforce series rather than the new radeons, still that leak on the geforce I would imagine will end up being fake but nvidia do love to have the performance crown so more than likely their gpu will be on top regardless.
 
Never heard that anywhere before about 6xx being for lappies and 7xx being kepler, where'd you hear that?

but tech savvy, how can they compare the 7970 to the equal gtx6XX if they aren't going to be released for like almost 6 months or so, it is still aimed against them, but at this time they can only compare it against the current cards out and aim to beat them.

It's actually fairly common knowledge.

Yeah after a bit of research it does seem to be highly likely that it will be the 7xx series for desktops with the 6xx series being oem, but again nothing appears to be confirmed, the slides that have been released/leaked seem to show the 7xx series so Im not sure if that is where it all started or not.
 
A GPU name starting with 7 sounds always better than starting with 6 lol. If the name one as 680 then it sounds more like 6850 lol. 780 go go
