    Be interesting seeing what this can do up against something like the MSI Twin Frozr R9 370, specs are slightly better without the boost capability and lower amount of streams.

    Looks like the mid range is heating up nicely at the moment

    Meh, it's a Bonnaire Pro with more memory and a clock bump: just another 200 series to 300 series rebrand. Compare it to a 370 and it'll get slaughtered: many fewer cores, much lower memory bandwidth.

    I get there's a limited amount AMD can do with the cores whilst the manufacturing processes aren't there to support the advancement, but it's getting a bit repetitive and depressing to have the same GPU cores rehashed over and over along with shiny marketing to try to convince us that there's something new happening. Bumping the generation number by one and pushing the clock speeds up 5% is hardly innovation...

    I see it more as a card for HTPC card and not much more. This card is essentially an optimized Radeon 7770. Man this architecture is getting seriously old.
