Three Radeon HD 7900 series cards come

AMD is looking to conquer the top category in the second wave.

For users with thinner wallets, the Radeon HD 7930 is built on a silly variant of the Tahiti tile. The chip has 1536 active stream processors and the number of texturizers can be put at 96. The backend, ie the 32 ROP units and the 256-bit memory bus, remain unchanged. Unfortunately, the exact clocks are not yet known, but the name suggests the performance of the card. There is a relatively small gap between the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition and the Radeon HD 7950, hence the novelty is essentially due to the use of faulty silicon wafers. The introduction may take place sometime in the summer.

The breakthrough performance of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 may have hit AMD somewhat unexpectedly. By now, the response hit the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition. In practice, we are talking about a turbocharged release of the previously released model, which is aligned in terms of performance with the current gun of the greens. With this step, the company can re-insert the price tag over $ 500. The card may even be available in June.

AMD's dual-chip video card, the Radeon HD 7990, may finally be ready in August. Obviously, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 is the goal here, which can be achieved with two Tahiti GPUs. The real challenge here is the 300-watt power threshold - which is important because of the PCI-SIG rating. With this card, strange as it may sound, you need to pay attention to energy efficiency and use low-voltage GPUs. You need to find the rate at which the chip can squeeze out really serious performance at a relatively favorable consumption. A techPowerUp! according to this approach directly exemplary the GeForce GTX 690 is featured, meaning it consumes a lot, but is hellishly strong by that.
