True, but as I implied above, it is their attitude (demonstrated over many years) that will likely dictate the outcome and keep them dominated by nvidia.
You know, with Eric Demers gone, I don't think there are any ArtX employees left. And where was ATi before it acquired ArtX?

It looks like HD 7990 is still set to debut at Computex (beginning June 5). (i got invites, but i am not going) The latest rumor from Dominhaber says it will be 2 x GHz edition 7970 cores. i don't see any pricing but there are unconfirmed rumors of $849 (actually it is all unconfirmed  ) http://www.donanimhaber.com/ekran-karti ... isiyor.htm http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/news/rad ... utex-2012/This same rumor surfaced a month ago from the same site. Now it appears likely and we have a few more details (GHz ed). If ABT gets really (really) really lucky, maybe i can get a HD 7970 from Sapphire to simulate it's performance with CrossFire. ---Of course, i would prefer the Sapphire Vapor-X HD 7990 GHz OC edition .. what's the likelihood of any of that happening?

Now that Sapphire is talking to u again I would say that the chance is pretty high.

Cool. It will be interseting to see how the 7990 does in terms of power consumption and heat. $849 is still way too much to pay for a graphics card IMO.

Well, it is (rumored to be) $100 more than the HD 6990. i am not sure where the other forum came up with $849. i couldn't find a price on Dominhaber

That will be one power hungry card!

Every now and again i read something really funny at another forum. Here goes: Quote: . . . makes next gen much more interesting with AMD currently holding the compute crown and Nvidia holding the gaming crown. The "compute crown"  Not by a longshot.

The 7970 is indeed a compute beast in certain applications.

Of course. In OpenCL benches where Kepler is unoptimized

Gk104 performs very well at compute considering its nvidias midrange die. Nvidia optimized gk104 for gaming just like they did with previous midrange chips. Gk110 is the true replacement for the gtx580 and there's no doubt it will be a compute monster.
