When is the radeon 7000 series coming out?
July 31st, 2013
q2 i think
They already released the HD 7980 you should be able to find them around this month.
The 7970 will be released on Jan 9th. The rest of the cards we don’t know yet.
Thanks guys i might as well just wait then im looking at the lower end of graphics card spectrum
From what i read the lower end cards will just be rebranded HD 6** series cards.
Can’t confirm if it’s true though.
7970 9Th January.
Well that’s what most tech sites are saying

Nope, 40nm Re-brand not die shrink.
Just read it’s for OEM cards though.
Probably down to cost of 28nm process steps.
Still, it’s not confirmed.

From the looks so far, lower idle power requirements and higher full load power draw. That is perfectly fine as the card won’t do much most of the time.
Wait a bit for good value.
Okay thanks guys someone has offered my a pny gtx 550 ti for £70. Take it or leave it?

Well they are about £100 new.
So it’s not a bad deal really, i’d try push him down a little more.
EDIT: Dabs have that for £90 new with Mafia II thrown in
So yeh, offer a little less.
£60-65 inc sounds about right

The price is not too bad BNIB
There’s an auction at the mo on E-bay for a KFA2, currently at £36 with 16 hours left, reckons it’s new as he decided not to go with SLI.

Yeah i told him its was 90 in dabs with mafia 2 but he just declined. Haha his buy it now is 95! Anyway got my eyes set on a raedon 6770! Will that be enough for batman arkham city on a 32inch tv at good settings?
I wouldn’t recommend the HD 6770 it’s a bit slower than the GTX 550Ti and the stock cooler is pants.
