More confirmed information on AMD's Hawaii!

[Kobz360]

I expected it to be a "little" faster than the Titan and no more, thats what they do...

 

A Small Incremental performance gain over the competition.

Just like the last gen, and the gen before that.

 

I'm looking forward to it, and have no complaints, but its just the way the world works.

Their price to performance seems great, but I didnt expect it to be much faster than titan.

PITA - I have a 7950 @ 7970, Mobo is Xfire capable...would rather a single gpu of course....

 

So price dropped 7950's would be the best bet with frame pacing as far as cost goes...

But goddamn I want their best single gpu anyways right...

So its grab another 7950 for (probably $250 soon), or sell my existing and pony up the cash for better single gpu performance..

What would you do.?

Get the 2nd 7950. Price of the new card will probably be pretty high over here in Aus, but then again 7950 (the cheapest one I can find) is on PCCG for $279 + $15ish postage, thats close to $300. I'd probably get the 7950 for now because those two cards will last you a while but that's just my take on it..

Two cards will last you a while but that's just my take on it..

That was my take on it too,... I don't play a lot of games, but when I do I like it with bells n whistles on.

I'm probably overkilling my needs, but I think ^ is the right way to go... thanks for the input.

SLI/Crossfire always looks good in builds

Unless its an amd reference cooler.

[SkilledRebuilds]

Non Reference. 

I have a side panel with two fan mounts, going to be sucking air OUT of the case due to my WF3 7950 outputting air right up against those fan spots.

Single card right now has a bottom side panel fan blowing air IN at the moment.. Adding another and Swapping it around for Xfire.

Anyways thats enough off topic.

 

Onto the New GPU's...

Unless its an amd reference cooler.

 

True! Those plactic shroud never look that good...

So it have 2800 stream processors, it consumes 300w it have 512-bit mem bus, it have everything, but it is only 5% faster than TITAN, something is not right....

Drivers aren't mature at all obviously. Give it time
