HD 7970 1.26ghz/6.9ghz = +30% > stock 7970, +60% > GTX 580 860mhz/1.72ghz

http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/01/09/amd_radeon_hd_7970_overclocking_performance_review/7

The Radeon HD 7970 has a lot of overclocking headroom. Also consider the fact that our Radeon HD 7970 is based on a stock heatsink and fan with a reference PCB, and we are experience overclocking potential such as this? Now consider the potential that exists when add-in-board partners build customized PCBs, customized power circuitry, customized components, customized BIOS, and custom heatsink and fan units. We might see even greater overclocking potential and performance to be had out of the Radeon HD 7970. This isn't the end of overclocking by any means with the Radeon HD 7970, this is just the beginning, and the beginning is already leaps and bounds better than the last generation.

Dont understand how they tested eyefinity on a GTX580.

That's a good question.

If I understand correctly, the Galaxy MDT GTX 580 can run a three monitor NV surround setup on a single card.

Nice, confirmed.

next console gen, the butthurt will flow through system wars....the rate hardware is increasing is incredible I have a hard time thinking the next systems can compete with anything from the past couple GPU sets. I'm still gonna love my 570 for years though

Isn't eyefinity 6 displays?

Ok, I didnt know that, call it 3Finity or something for 3 monitors, leave the eyefinity name for 6 monitors only.

Eyefinity is anything more than 2.

You can eyefinity up to 24 monitors using 4 cards. (I seent it)

Not necessarily. The next gen consoles won't be here for 3 more years. That is plenty of time to put some pretty amazing hardware in them for relatively cheap.

I fully expect the next gen consoles to outstat current top of the line PCs. Anyone that expects otherwise is a little bit stupid.

you think a SLI GTX 570 when the next gen console come out will be strong enough to run games in that time?

meh ill wait for the 680 to come out and see some benchies between the two

3 more years, i doubt that, at least i hope not as that is actually a 10 year old gen :o, currently at 7 with the 360

Do you see anything whatsoever about next gen consoles? No.

What we see are updates to current consoles, wii u, kinect, psmove, vita, etc...

I don't expect the next gen consoles to come out until they have the hardware to run every game 1080p at 60 fps cheaply. We will probably see that at 20nm which will be out right around 2014/2015.

MS and sony already missed a CES announcement which automatically gives us over 1 year until we can expect them for sale.

Most sources suggest that at the very least, the next Xbox will be out in the 2013 holiday season. Sounds about right to me.Spike1988

the apu news was before we all found how crappy the bulldozer was. Im betting MS will use some an ibm processor just like the past.

Nethemis

do ye actually think ms and sony will just leave nintendo run away with the show? nintendos console will be using 2010-2013 hardware so it is going to be a lot more powerful than the 360 or ps3 which tbh wouldnt be hard
