Having seen the 7870 beat the 6970 in most scenarios, I would say that it's 350$ MSRP is justified (but the whole damn lineup needs to go down 25%)

The 7850 coming in at 250$ MSRP, seems like decent performance though.

I'd like to see how two 7870's in crossfire compare to a single 7970.

Ern, I'd say that for 1920x1200, a 7870 right now is a good choice, but wait until NV hopefully releases a good product at a better price to bring prices down by the end of March. The 7870 beats the crap out of a 6950, which is way better than a 5850 :P

Ya Steve, I think I will wait for Nvidia's new line up to come out and see if the price drops for the 7870. But I am going to get that new monitor. I had the one I have for a long time now. Hope your doing good buddy.

Yeah, so, the 6990 comes out one the 680 from team green breaks the NDA (and then 690 or whatever after that).


...Shudders at the 999$ video card.

PRICE CUT! (and 3 games!)

(US$, MSRP)

7970 550$ -> 480$ 15% cut
7950 450$ -> 400$ 12% cut
7870 300$ -> 300$
7850 250$ -> 250$
7770 170$ -> 140$ 21% cut
7750 110$ -> 110$

so my 2 previous biggest beefs have been answered. I guess AMD wanted to cut NVidia off at the pass before they started shipping en masse.

Side note...GTX 580 production has ceased, woo?

A friend of mine just picked up the 680GTX.

check out the specs - looks like they are finally getting around to being energy efficient.

Well I guess we get the 7970x2 before we can get a 7990 :P
BEHOLD! The Devil 13 :P (would that even fit in my case, an 800D?)

75W + 150W + 150W + 150W (525W), nothing that's not been done before (ASUS MARS cards and whatnot). I'm pretty sure the power config for 2 individual 7970s would be 600W: 75W + 75W + 150W (300W)x2.

I'm sure it won't need that much power unless one overclocks through the roof and runs furmark like a fiend :P

He's holding a 7990, a right proper one, with 3 fans on it! Looks like it's going to be a couple 7950s, and not the dual 7970s that we've been seeing on 7970x2 boards. Fine by me, if it keeps the price in the 600-700$ range, it's a keeper (and a serious contender for my valued buckaroos!)

And the 7950 gets a stock "upgrade"...same card, same price, new BIOS, cranking the base clocks from 800 to 850MHz, with OCboostwhatever going to 925MHz. Expect loads of BIOS from manufacturers for "use at your own risk" upgrades to all pre-existing 7950's.

Guess the 660Ti is a giantkiller in the making!
