Agree. How much I'm willing to pay for it depends on the performance improvement over the two 7970s.


Hopefully at least 2.6x

4096 SP of GCN 1.2 Cores (vs 4096 of GCN 1.0),

Less Power, More Efficiency etc.

4096 Bit Memory Bus, insane texture bandwidth that makes an nVidia Titan X look like an entry level card.

All on 2 8-Pin PCIe Plugs smile

$849 was the Rumored price ($799 was the rumored MSRP)

I paid $375-$400 for my Lightnings, which can be relegated to other systems. I still have the EK water block that I got for free with one.

I'd have to buy some DisplayPort to MiniDP Adapters if the Rumored I/O is correct.
