Specs for AMD Radeon HD 7990 disclosed

Quote:
At this time there is almost all technical data required to talk about AMD’s next Dual-GPU graphics card.

The naming scheme for HD 6900 series cards brought some changes to card positioning. Follow it, the next flagship targeted at Q2 2012 should carry the name of AMD Radeon HD 7990 after successful launch of Radeon HD 6990 – current AMD’s flagship. There is no secret that Radeon HD 7000 line-up will use 28nm process technology manufactured chips, compared to 40nm chips used for latest Radeon HD 6000 products.

I couldn't care less for raw performance numbers these days. What i do care is what will they offer as extra. They nailed the MLAA beautifully. It's probably the best thing AMD (or ATI) ever delivered to the end user. I just keep it enabled at all times along with 16x AF and it's just awesome. Super fast and no jaggies regardless of the game. Tessellation and loads of other stuff are just gimmicks that we might see in 5 years as something normal in games. But MLAA works in every game right now, at this very moment. I don't have to wait for game developers to use it. It just works. Similar as Adaptive AA. I hope they'll bring us something that works in a similar way to enhance the visual experience regardless of the game used. Not sure what that might be but i guess there is still room for such goodies.

all of that is fake and worthless

less break it down

AMD / ATI has never used a memory bus width thats not a power of ^2 aka 32 64 128 256 512 etc thus the 384bit bus is a lie, 6400 stream processors, also a lie, as they dont use perfect numbers due to there 4+1 setup basically the way the specs are setup above makes no sense and it dosent add up. thus the article above and the info are nothing more then filler used to gather Hits,

5+1 is the old design

4+1 is the new design

aka 4+1 = 4D

5+1 = 5D

at least from what i remember

5+1 is 5 shaders 4 simple 1 complex and 1 branch unit

4+1 is 4 mid 1 branch with 3 of the 4 being used together to act like a complex shader when needed, or something to that effect im sick with the flu so my memory is fuzzy

the +1 never really gets counted as its just a branch unit but its included in the shader design

thus im still right and your the one under a rock

specs seem like complete fud, just something to get hits on their site. the 6990 specs arent even right, or at least not stated correctly in terms of what is per GPU.

sorry m8, I think these specs are BS. the 69XX cards were not double the performance of the 58XX/59XX cards therefore imho it is probably going to stay on the course it has been on, yes before the 69XX/68XX cards amd/ati's new gen cards were always double performance compared to its previous gen. there was a huge article about this soon after the new cards were released.

The specifications seem somewhat realistic, but anybody could just make this up.

Pure speculation, nothing more.

I recall the old design being referred to as 4+1 (4 simple + 1 complex)

The branch unit isn't included in the count.

Regarding these specs though, my card doesn't have "steam" processing units.

Not sure about anyone else <_<

How are they going to get double (?) the specs with a DECREASE in power consumed?

That would have to be one efficient card.
