AMD Radeon 9970 specs!

[M-ursu]

I'm 16, though. So I need to get a car soon, and my parents aren't willing to help me with that at all financially. So they just kinda glare at me when I drop money on things like this, because "That's 500+ dollars that could have been thrown at a car"  <_<

I am 16 too, but i cant get car before i am 18.

You are happy that you live in US. :)

[M-ursu]

i would choose a pc instead of a car :p

Really?!

[WunderWuffle]

And i am gong to buy 4K monitor when they cost under 500€

Lol. The max I am probably ever going to spend from now on is around meh, probably $400. The most I spent on a monitor was when I bought my Dell U3011.... I dont think I'll ever pay that much again XD that was WAY too much.

Tbh, driving makes me incredibly nervous :ph34r: . I'm told that's just because I'm just not used to it yet, but I still hate driving non-the-less.

Dont forget you need to pay for insurance... When you drive @ 16, the insurance prices are going to be pretty high.

Haha, you silly peapoles in US, are going to buy expencive insurances. :)

And i was thinking that this topic was about 9970 and not about cars. :)

Well that escalated quicky... ;) But Moon, I would save up for a car, THEN buy the computer when you have everything sorted out.

Actually the effective memory clock speed is 5,000 MHz. It's right there beneath the graphs, may be you missed that. ;) An other strange thing is why did they put a wider 512 bit memory bus and the memory bandwidth (144 GB/s) still continues to be pretty low, compared to GTX 780 (288.4 GB/s). It just doesn't make any sense.

Nope, it will be using same memory chips as 770, i read article that AMD is buying insane amounts of them.

[Godlygamer23]

We'll see if the specs are real.

That might be true, but I seriously doubt that they will use it on the 9000 series cards, because we are pretty close to the launch day and moreover these things (graphics cards) take years to design and manufacture. I suspect that they are buying these chips for something else.

 

PS: If you quote a site please use the correct numbers shown there and don't put your on inventions based on a presumption, otherwise it is a felony.  ;)

That was old topic, it was writed last year, if i remember correct.

Memory bandwidth for a 5,000mhz with 512bit bus should be 320GB/s. :ph34r:

How do you count that?

[tedjani]

i can't wait to get one or two of them

but i will never get that new amd 5GHZ cpu with that price

Actually I think it's supposed to be a bit more than that, but generally speaking it's impossible a 5 GHz clock on the memory + 512 bit bus to give only 144 GB/s memory bandwidth, which is stated in the article. There is something pretty messed up here.

it sucks anyway in benchmarks other cpu's stomp on it :p

[xAcid9]

Bus speed (bit) x Effective speed (hz)

 

512bit x 5000000000hz = 2560000000000 bit/s

 

Convert to Jiga = 8 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 8000000000

 

2560000000000/8000000000 = 320GB/s

lol :D

[Lays]

7GHZ? thats impossible

 

 

I believe the 770 has 7002mhz memory

[I'm Batman]

I believe the 770 has 7002mhz memory

i thaught it was core clock speeds! D:

[Lays]

o

[Godlygamer23]

What? Core clock speed is a little over 1,000MHz to almost 1,100MHz.

[7850OC]

this looks like good numbers from your web so far (is a start lol)  :lol:

 

clock speed - 1,000 MHz

 

effective memory clock speed - 6,008 MHz

 

memory bandwidth - 288.4 GB/s (this number should be 384,512 GB/s)

 

memory bus - 512 bit (128 x 4 = 512)

 

memory - 4GB

but why is it so expensive that's what made me mad dude
