~30% from more shaders + ~5-10% from ROPs/Frontend, so ~35% in front of 7970 GHz if the Clocks are ~950 MHz

So most of them think it will be Titan Power with a smaller chip or with other words +35% 7970 GHz.

If it will be 40% or 30% dunno, we will see if all details are revealed.

Especially with those sharp metal edges and pointy solder points on the back of the card.......Better use Crisco, forget KY.

Hopefully the price is compelling. Might switch to the red team in the future if they keep up the good work. I hope they kick ass with it.
