They go on pre-order on the 3rd I think, so that might be the day all the benchmarks and details are published. Hopefully before though.
That 3dmark score had better be wrong!

A 7950/70/7990 will all be bottlenecked by your cpu.
Sorry forgot to mention its a completely new build, i7
I've been holding off since Monday to order a 7990 and I need a new graphics card for battlefield 4, so what do you reckon go ahead and order it and upgrade in a couple of years.playing at 1920x1080.
Techspot says, "There's 4GB of memory aboard this card, 5 TFLOPS of computer power, 300 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and the ability to process 4 billion triangles per second. The GPU itself packs a whopping 6 billion transistors, and is built to support 4K Ultra HD resolutions.". It doesn't sound like an overclocked 7950 will beat it
Did they say what cpu was used on the fire strike score? Or even what preset was used and if its an overall score or just graphics score?
I agree that AMD are holding back on the ACTUAL performance until the reviews are done as a surprise.
There's no way in my eyes that an overclocked 7950 is going to be faster, surely for the 290X to be their fastest card, it would have to be well over 8k in firestrike?.. i'll hazard a guess and say 10k on performance preset
I'm still disappointed with the stream though, looked very unprofessional and was cringing through most of it.
But i'm optimistic.. i think there's far more to the R9 290X than we've seen so far..
Didnt they say last night that the 290x is the fastest gpu out at the moment ?
If so that would make it faster than the 780 and titan.
Yes they did. We need reviews and benches to know for sure. The reference cooler looks awful though.

I think it looks nice but as always i couldn't give a damn if it was shaped and coloured like a turd. Perform well and that's all i care about. Once its inside my pc that is where it stays until RMA time.
Cooler looks cheap, hopefully the card is as well.
