Finally, a review leaks.

Pretty disappointing results tbh. Guess Fuad was right all along: it’s about 60% faster than a 4870. Which means in games where Crossfire/SLI doesn't scale it can hang with a 4870X2/295, but otherwise it gets beat.
 
Something to think about?:rolleyes:

Oh what a suprise its ~1.6-1.7x faster than a 4870 on average...
 
the performance is impressive, but not revolutionary. I think it looks like a solid upgrade from the previous gen, it doesnt blow the competition away but is takes the single gpu crown comfortably. If ati can hit that £250-280 sweet spot for a 1gb, then this is looking very nice

edit: although saying that, the 285 does seem to compete in certain games, that not too hot

Price pending to be honest.

If that review's real, then it's somewhat disappointing.

Disregarding DX11, you'd get better performance from 2 4890s for less money.

Yeah it's multiple GPUs, but still, it's more performance for less money.
