I updated the thread title to see if there's interest in creating other roadmap discussion threads. NVIDIA's a bit hazy right now, but there's something interesting stuff to talk about for Intel. If it's a terrible idea, feel free to let me know. I figure it's more appropriate than just calling it "The AMD megathread" since that's sorta what it's turned into.

The 7970 is now set to launch on December 22, with the 7950 on January 9 if leaked slides are to be believed.

The leaked specs look phenomenal, but the 7970 is expected to launch north of $400. I'm still really tempted to grab one as my Christmas present to myself.

Back to Southern Islands chat: new snapshots of the card, as well as performance numbers from a leaked AMD slide. Take the numbers with a grain of salt, since they're certainly "best case scenario" numbers.

Lost the graph somehow. 1.6x the performance of a GTX 580 is certainly appealing.

This looks to be a mostly-complete dump of the reviewer's kit for the 7970. http://videocardz.com/29950/amd-radeon-hd-7970-benchmarks-gaming-performance Looks like I'm buying a new video card when I get back from vacation on January 1.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5261/amd-radeon-hd-7970-review edit: So it's a paper launch. gently caress that noise. Expected availability on January 9, so I might as well wait to see how the 7950 turns out. Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Dec 22, 2011 |

Keep in mind that reviewers typically get cherry-picked samples that are known to perform well. it's still a very impressive overclocking result though. It'll be interesting to see if partners go crazy with it and ship $650 factory overclocked versions if the architecture really has that much headroom.

I really wish the 7970 would show up on Newegg already. It would certainly help my indecisiveness if I could just impulse-buy one, instead of wondering if Kepler will show up at CES and dash my 7970 dreams.

Cross-post from the parts-picking: Sapphire and VisionTek 7970s are on Amazon right now. I just snagged one with next-day delivery.  I can't wait to try to cram it into a mini-ITX box.

[H]ardOCP (I know, I know) just posted an article looking at 7970 overclocking. edit: they hit 1260 on the core and 6.9GHz memory on a reference board with some voltage tweaking. That seems insane to me. Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Jan 9, 2012 |

What's baffling to me is that there were basically no custom 7970s at CES. AMD must have really rushed this launch if partners are so far behind. I really want to see custom cards after seeing how far my reference design goes with overclocking.
