I am hoping it's true. But it's only stating 2GB memory! If you ask me, the 7970 will take the crown of fatest single gpu on the planet!
More memory should give slightly higher frames rates should it not and/or better for AA!
2gb? Purchasers wanting to run Bf3 at ultra settings will be upset.
Just when the anti-upgrade tablets were starting to work . . .
How did you calculate that when the 7970 is only 20% faster than the 512 shader GTX580? Even without any optimisations (which there most probably will be) a 768 shader GTX580 should easily beat the 7970.If theres any truth in that and its 768 shader @ 780MHz then it would be about 7970 performance, not very exciting but it wouldn't be the proper top end card.
Oh dear, flagship single core card, and only performance to equal 7970? What a disappointment... Imagine if the price was higher than a 7970 too, would be pretty funny.
But it is only a rumour.
