HD 7890 OcUK availability

[iBSOD]

Not that I've read. Where did you get that impression?

It's a slightly cut down Tahiti chip.

nvm, i read on a forum and they were guessing prices of $500-$600. have no idea what they were on about now

 

[humbug]

Well you might be in for a shock. These benchmarks are from a well-respected technology site in China. Certainly looks legit...

hehe.. love the two little loops on the 7890

Same here "wheeeee!" popped into my head when i saw them

I spilt my beer looking at that.

Looks like only Club3D, PowerColor and VTX (same parent company) are releasing cards based on the 7890 chip.

Everyone else has decided not to make cards featuring "Tahiti LE". I can't remember another GPU that has been totally ignored/snubbed by card makers!

So this was a bit of a non-story, it seems. Either buy 7950 or wait for next gen.

Go get one

Wow, I didn't realise the 7950 spanked the 660ti that hard in BF3.

The average fps is a lot higher. And the oc headroom of a 7950 just tops it off nicely

It does on the 12.11 drivers. It's even a teeny bit faster than the 670.

Without doubt, the worst launch I've ever seen.

I would at least expect the sites spamming all over the net (plagerizing one another) 'Official AMD launch on the 27th' to retract or update their crap spamm.

It's not the first or the last time for one of these "Launches"

5830 originally was pretty much the same.

The rumoured 6930 I can't even recall if that ever launched

 

[Yaayuh!]

I assume this is all BS and no such card exists yes?

 

[Gibbo]

No such card.

The chips shall be put on 7870 cards and anyone who gets one will just be lucky.

 

[humbug]

What chips? the apparent 7890 chips? the ones with more cores than the 7870 we know today?

Club3D, VTX and PowerColor have (apparently) all launched "special" versions of their 7870 range which contain Tahiti LE "7890" chips.

So it doesn't seem that it will be a lottery.

The Club3D version was called the "Joker" edition or something. Seemed to me when I read the article that if you bought one you got a 7890 100% guaranteed?

But there are no reviews yet, and I'm not going to buy a card from either of those brands anyhow
