AMD's Radeon HD 7000 series is off to a flying start with the launch of the venerable HD 7970 and the almost-as-fast HD 7950, but for those of you who're unable - or unwilling - to spend in excess of £300 on PC graphics, we've good news as it seems the underlying GCN architecture will be filtering through to the mainstream marketplace as soon as February 15.

That date appears to have been leaked by the following MSI slide, which hints at the release of the HD 7750 and HD 7770 in a fortnight's time, followed by the HD 7850 and HD 7870 in March, and the range-topping dual-GPU HD 7990 in the second quarter of the year.

Looks like Gibbo was right about the 6900 series squeezing between the 7900 and 7800 series.

But looking at the rest of this, it seems AMD is not as brilliantly priced as before :(.
 
Be interesting to see how the 7850 performs with that clockspeed. Also to see whether it overclocks at all or if it'll be stuck at 950.

Forgive my ignorance....
So a 6970 outperforms a 7950?
Or is that just to show the ladder and a 7950 whoops a 6970?

No, it looks like its just an issue to do with the sparkly new generation tags/boxes being larger makes it harder to directly follow, they should be in line as they are direct replacements for that target market on the y axis.

The 200-300 price range is getting very cluttered in the AMD range. You have a 6950, 7850, 7870, 6970 and possibly the 7950 1.5gb.

Yes but two of those cards are on there way out so for those us looking for snap a bargin board partners will be heavily discounting the 6950 and 6970 to clear out inventories ready for the new 7000 cards.
 
That table shows a 7950 having 28 ROPS.

If my memory serves me right, the 7950's have 32 ROPS, infact they definetely do!


Infact many of the spec's look rather wrong on those tables compared to the valid info I have from AMD on 78xx and 77xx series. So that info is wrong and a load of $$$~~~~%%%$$$
 
GPUReview says 32 ROPs for the 7950 and their specs are usually correct.

EDIT: That table shows compute units (shader clusters) at 28, ROPs 32.
