Lol. When Boom had his Titan it was the best purchase ever! Played everything at highest settings, then he got two 660s the Titan was pointless at the price they were selling...it didn't matter though! The 660s played everything at highest settings!
Now he has his two 7950s, the 780 and Titan are still pointless upgrades and everyone should buy two 7950s because...guess what! They playing everything at highest settings! LOL :D :D :p

Best way to deal with high launch prices is to wait until prices come down, also the best way to avoid buyers remorse, take it from somebody who fell for the Nvidia Titan hype lol.

If more people voted with their wallets prices would have to come down, a lot of people cry about prices then run out and buy at launch anyway lol.

A Paradox.

I have never owned a card that could play everything at highest settings.

And I have owned a card or two.:D:p:)

Not really I tend to switch parts out, play with them and the build them into PC's for other people, I kind of hustle my own parts until I'm happy with it's bang for buck lol.

You settle for the best bang for buck system after spending a **** tonne trying to get there?

Am I the only one who sees some kind of flawed logic here?

Not having a dig, there's just no... logic...
 
AMD really have no excuse for not beating nvidias current line up. They have had plenty of time to get their cards ready. I just hope they dont dissapoint and they can beat nvidia on price and performance as this will make for better competition which is only a good thing for consumers.

I also hope they spank intel with their new cpus.

for now i will stick with my 7970 and maybe get another. Got my 7970 for £200 and sold my 7850 for £100 :D

Quoted these together as they relate.

The 7790 is Interesting, with 40% more Stream Processors and running the same GPU clocks + higher memory clocks than the 7770 it uses about the same amount of power.

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/radeon-hd-7790-bonaire-performance,review-32655-10.html

7770 = 142w
7790 = 138w

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6837/...eat-sapphire-the-first-desktop-sea-islands/16

7770 = 242w
7790 = 249w

Clearly there is some power optimisation on the 7790.

It's probably worth mentioning the 7790 had an extra 20-40% fps using same amount of power as the 7770.
Also worth looking at the frametimes for the 7790 as they were very good.

8970 should be great :)
