    Looks like two 7850's could really kick some butt.

    On further thinking it looks like they are undoing the naming mistake of the 6000 series.

    As usually the high end of on series would become the mainstream of the next series.
    Roughly speaking the 5770 was on par with the 4870 (core was the same, memory bandwidth was less)
    They messed up the 6000 series when the 6870 was significantly slower than the 5870 at best it should of been called the 6770.

    With this series it looks like the 7870 will be on par with the old 6970 (less cores but more clockspeed) it's just a shame they've given the new mainstream part the old high end price.

    They should really reserve the *9** range for dual gpu's. *8** for high end, and *7** for mainstream.

    They messed the 6xxx series up when the 6770 was really a 5770 with a new sticker.

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Whats the reckoning on low power, but modern card in the £60-£80. When things start at £115 it seems a little high and rather exclusive. A 6570 replacement with the lower power draw and quiet cooling would be nice.

    well i hope those guestimates are well off, i've been holding off replacing my HD4870 with a HD6870 which you can now get for under £130 for the possibility of the new HD7870 but not at £250

    Can anyone give an estimate as to when the HD 7870 will be released? I read somewhere that it will be released on the 6th of March whereas other sources are saying the 16th of March. Any insight on this matter would be appreciated.

    i just wish they'd stop messing around and just release the info about the new cards regardless of launch dates so you can make informed decisions on whether to wait n get the new one or get the current one.
