    Shouldn't the headline say "not unlockable" ??

    re: News - AMD says Radeon HD 6790 GPU isn't 'unlockable'

    So when you say 'unlockable', what you actually mean is 'not unlockable'?

    re: News - AMD says Radeon HD 6790 GPU isn't 'unlockable'

    The title seams a little misleading, AMD saying it's unlockable just for the article to say its not

    Really i think if a barts core missed the 6870 mark and even the 6850 standard was not cut down enough for the chip to be viable then wanting to unlock that core sounds like a bad idea.

    Don't be too hard on yourself...ununlockable is a lot for anyone to get their head around.
