for people that already have anything more powerful than a gtx560 these are a waste and overpriced too. There is a guy in the fs section selling his gtx 580 same model i have for £275 because he bought a 7950 so even if he got the cheapest one he paid £75 more than he will get for his 580 to have exactly the same performance. yeah mate you are right except for one thing these are new so people will want them.
I'll reserve final judgement till the numbers are in, but it's clearly not going to best a pair of 6870 in CF at the moment. You only need to look at the GTX 570 Super Overclock review to see this nets you typically 50% more performance than a GTX570, and so very likely approximately the same improvement over this new 7870. Right now I could pick up a pair of 6870's from Scan and Crossfire them, for less than £240. While I like the 7950, the market position they've placed it by charging £350 has really been an insult to their customers. Releasing something that can only best a product on the market by 5% in a whole 8/9 months extra development time for a similar price means your behind the curve. I say marketable, but I honestly don't see this as a victory. That's not a technical analysis of the hardware, just a practical assessment of what they'll be aiming for to make it marketable (in their opinion). I expect performance to be around 5-10% better than the GTX570, with slightly lower power consumption at the same price point. I'll reserve final judgement till the numbers are in, but it's clearly not going to best a pair of 6870 in CF at the moment.Ĭptwhite_uk What I find amazing is that at release the consumer will be faced with an option around £240 for the 7870 (a price point they could've already had a GTX570 at for the best part of a year).
What I find amazing is that at release the consumer will be faced with an option around £240 for the 7870 (a price point they could've already had a GTX570 at for the best part of a year). The pricing suggests that Radeon HD 7850 will be gunning for arguably one of the best last-gen cards the 384-core GeForce GTX 560 Ti. The HD 7850, meanwhile, is said to be arriving in both 1GB and 2GB capacities, priced at around £165 and £190, respectively, inclusive of VAT. Should the UK launch price get inflated (and let's be honest, if often does), the same card could be up against the GeForce GTX 570. The complete specifications are depicted in easy-to-digest tablet form above, and if these numbers are indeed accurate, they're an almost exact match to our earlier guesstimates.Ĭonverting the supposed MSRPs to British Pounds puts the HD 7870 at roughly £225 - a price point at which it would battle it out with a GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 and AMD's own Radeon HD 6950.
