* TriniWyatt faints @ the 80,000+ vantage score

I think you mean 'faint' there TW. 'Feint' means something completely different.

Of course it's nice for records, but of absolutely ZERO practical appeal. My UPS would run away and cower in fear if confronted with that.

Still, it's nice to see what all that hardware can get you.

*ninja edit*

What you talking about Arc? I said faint

lol @ ups running away in fear.

That's for sure.

I would love to see the kill-a-watt reading on a machine like that. Energy consumption through the roof!

Looks promising

I am really interested to see the performance of the 7950.... and price...

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #47 on:** January 06, 2012, 06:48:21 PM »

Hard lol @ turks and caicos. I thought this new generation was supposed to be built on 28nm though?

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #48 on:** January 09, 2012, 07:48:26 AM »

7970 only 15-30% better on average than GTX 580? I sense amd's lead isnt going to last very long. Kepler is on the horizon!!!

The low end cards are basically re branded from the 6000 series with the 40 nm tech. The higher end models from,I guess from the 7850 (possibly lower) and up use the 28nm tech.

I want to the prices and performances of the other cards yo =/

Not impressed with the Price:Performance ratio !!!

Edited: To be more specific, it is almost the price of my 6990!!

W1nTry · « **Reply #52 on:** January 24, 2012, 12:30:19 PM »

Its called the Halo effect, they will sell it high as long as they can, until they have to drop the price. Since nothing else beats it (single GPU) sell it high whilst they can. It's a business after all. Blame nvidia if anything for not releasing their competing product yet.

captainchris · « **Reply #53 on:** January 24, 2012, 02:00:45 PM »

^ Halo effect my foot........

I know it is a business. But the technology is expensive in these new cards.

Well right, so if the tech is expensive should the resultant product? O_o

captainchris · « **Reply #55 on:** January 24, 2012, 11:58:40 PM »

Still do not see how that can justify those prices!!

W1nTry · « **Reply #56 on:** January 25, 2012, 11:09:08 AM »

And how is it any different from Intel's Extremely Expensive Edition CPUs?

That's the law of market forces my friend. They can and will sell it at that price until the competition comes with something better.

Knowing AMD, they WILL drop that price when Nvidia strikes back with Kepler.

Yeah yeah i know, I was just giving Wintry some trouble. I am quite happy with my 6990 though.

The 7950 cometh finally:

Didn't see it on amazon yet, but newegg has em:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102962

Based on the pricing for the performance I think more of you will be pleased, however still too hot for my pocket, so i'll be waiting on the 7870 it appears.
