Probably performs close to a stock 660ti at stock 670 power for 660 price, if you want a flat comparison. Shows that amd could sure use a chip 75% the size of tahiti, that's for sure.

With 210w though (7870 is 170w max...7950 200w...7950 BE 225w) it should overclock pretty darn well given the lower utilization of shaders, less ram, and disabled mem controllers versus even 7950 Original Gangsta edition.

At the end of the day, sounds like what we thought it would be...A cheaper alternative to the 660ti that probably performs similar stock/overclocked but uses more power.

I though that 7870 already did that at $50 less

Fall 2012 GPU and Driver Comparison Roundup

The most interesting stand out from this evaluation has been the NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti, which is priced significantly higher than the Radeon HD 7870 while turning in similar performance numbers. The GTX 660 Ti has lost its value at this point in time, lending way to the Radeon HD 7950 which has benefited from falling prices and new drivers.
