amd turns on the heat vs gk104 with a new 7950

amd is reworking the hd 7950. the 7950 ghz edition is alot like the 7970ghz edition. higher quality core for greater ocing headroom, powertune and boost, stock clocks raised. and this time NO REFERENCE COOLER (hallelujia lets be honest here)

estimated opening price sits at about $375 :D

round 2 nvidia *headbuts match bell*

the hd 7950ghz edition will launch right along side the hd 7930

would it be better to wait for the new 7950 or buy one now? when do they plan on releasing these cards?

and can you explain to me why the 7870 has a core clock of 1000 MHz while the 7950 reference is only 800 MHz.. what does this mean?

and can you explain to me why the 7870 has a core clock of 1000 MHz while the 7950 reference is only 800 MHz.. what does this mean?:

the architecture used in the hd 7900 series can withstand higher clocks to amd overclocks it higher the ones in the hd 7800 series cannot so that dontraise them as high.

would it be better to wait for the new 7950 or buy one now? when do they plan on releasing these cards?:

the more reasonable way to go would be to buy now no sense in waiting the tx2 variant that is the 7950 GHZ edition will at best be slightly worse than a 7970 somehting you can already achieve by manually changing settings on an hd 7950 you bought at a store today.

Any chance of this outperforming the 670?

maybe out temping it or out clocking it maybe there is even a snowballs chance of being better in multi-card scaling but better preformer period. this is unlikely

Depends on the games.

Zotac GTX 670 AMP vs XFX HD 7950 Black (900Mhz).

Atm, the fastest 7950 is Sapphire HD 7950 OC 950MHz Edition.

I can run my 7950 @ 950Mhz without changing the voltage.
