Cost-Effective Radeon HD 7900 PCB Already In The Works

Man, it is not about looks, it is about quality of used materials and components. Quality decreases, when you substitute gold with copper, high efficient (+95%) and ripple free vGPU phases with cheap ones. Why did you chose "warranty that covers heatsink removal" in a wish list. Because AMD fan fails, when used 24/7 in a 2-3 months time? Wish for silicon nitride bearing, not for DIY repair thingy in warranty period.
 
To use waterblocks :)
 
It looks like AMD is ready well ahead to face competition from NVIDIA, with its GeForce Kepler 104 (GK104) GPU.
Ah, isn't GK104 the successor to the GF114 used for the GTX 560 graphics! So, are you saying the next mainstream from Nvidia is set to compete against these 7950/7970? :confused:
 
I read that... and what others who reported on the same source(s) and they see that yes this new/refresh will boost it above the GTX570 maybe tail the 580... as we would hope.

Although, I ask is Nvidia intending to move what's known as "mainstream" and ramp pricing up to be in the league of "enthusiast"? What would they use to backfill between what's now a pedestrian GTX550 and this new a GK104? I suppose they just use the same approach as "non-ti" employed presently, (geldings' from GK104 production) as they've already grasped the proposition they’ll get extensive binning from TSMC on the GK104.


Also lot of folks who provide/dicussed the information to those specs', haven't reformulated what that mean's now with synchronous geometry. Will just boosting core clock and and extra cores be enough?
