AMD Hawaii, Launched in Hawaii on Sept 25

[Vitalius]

Will they be releasing the whole new gen of cards (9xxx series) or just be releasing one flagship card to go against the Titan ?

I believe the flagship at first. Then the rest will follow a month (?) later.

Hawaii isn't being actually released until Q4. This is just the tech day to show off the technology.

Yet, 2x 7970s outperform by quite a margin against 7990. Why is that? Also, i said an overclocked 7950s, around 1100mhz perhaps?

What are you talking about? Show me where 2 7970's outperform a 7990 by more than 5%. It is IMPOSSIBLE for 2 7970 gpu's to be better than 2 other 7970 gpu's at the same frequency.

Yup, the actual launch date is around Oct.

Not at the same clock but 5% more core speed and alot faster.

Tomb Raider = 16% faster

Crysis 3 = 19% faster

Fary Cry 3 = 15% faster

Hitman Absolution = 5% faster

Sleeping Dogs = 25% faster

Sauce: Radeon HD 7990 versus GeForce GTX TITAN Review - HardOCP

It'd be a closer comparison if they weren't GHz editions.

I thought it was code named Hawaii XT?

thats old news

[Humbug]

buys a 9970 with 4gb of vram

use it with vga cable :D 1440x900 and constant 75fps for me :D

lol i will have around 2.7gb of vram just chilling :3

LOL, my neighbour uses that resolution so I'm recommending to him a 7850 or at most a 760 if he wants to keep it for long. Thought more than than would be waste of money.

Time to sell my 7950?

or time to grab another 7950 for under $200.

Will the September 25th tech event be NDA or will websites immediately be able to release to the public what it covers?

I expect that websites that are not under NDA will immediately post the things said in said live stream. :| So an NDA would be pointless imo.
