Is the Radeon HD 7950 GHz Edition coming?

After the big gun, the smaller model can also be turbocharged.

We presented the AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition graphics card in detail on two occasions. We can now definitely state that the engineers stubbornly insist on the leading position, so after the "endowment" of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680, it is now the turn of the little brother. The latter badly outperforms the Radeon HD 7950, but the TechPowerUP! according to his information, not for long. The recipe is similar here: the main specifications are unchanged (1792 stream processors, 112 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 384-bit memory bus), but instead the simplest form of performance increase is chosen. In practice, this means that the clock speed of the GPU rises from 800 MHz, which can be said to be low these days, to around 1,0 GHz - AMD PowerTune Boost also comes to this. Although the GPU clock speed will increase by 25%, the memories are expected to still tick at an effective 5,0 GHz. All things considered, what we expect is that the newcomer will bring the speed of the first AMD Radeon HD 7970 almost exactly, but with somewhat more favorable consumption indicators. To the extent that the market for high-end video cards is getting denser, there is as much stagnation in the field of entry-level and mid-range solutions (especially green ones).

Cheap prank, or is it really the Radeon HD 7950 GHz Edition?

 

The Radeon HD 7950 GHz Edition could start later this quarter.
