I wonder if AMD have included a similar audio technology in to the next generation consoles or have they gone their own way with that?

280x was $299?

So about £240 - £250 then, so presumably the 290 will be in the £350 or so price point.

Fire strike extreme http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18487344

Top card: 1. 6998. GFX Score 7202. 780. LN2 Cooled. Physics Score 19983. CPU 3930k @ 5.59 LN2 Cooled - 8 Pack - Link

What did they say, 7K?

 

[jrodga2k5]

ok so just to put that score in perspective, at stock the 290x is twice the speed of a balls-out over-clocked 7970.

That's why it can't be right...of course if it is amazing...but I can't imagine it's twice as fast.

As I said, faster than a stock 7990 in that case, mines score 7.1k graphics score at stock clocks.

 

[churchhawk]

yes it prob sounds good, but its prob a 10k plus setup LOL

I dont recall them saying it was firestrike extreme

 

[Cd0gz]

I had a sound system that could do this 15 years ago dont see their point.

 

[LtMatt]

So...it beats a stock 7990 then? We shall see soon enough!

I don't know. I'm just saying what it said on the presentation.
