This review just reminds me how pathetic the HD7950 is. Once HD7870 launches for $349 and GK104 follows up in a couple weeks from today, the HD7950 @ $449 will become an irrelevant SKU (it already is next to an already overpriced and ancient 15 months old 40nm GTX580).

HD7950 has 55% more memory bandwidth and 40% more shaders and is barely 15% faster than an HD7870. Talking about an ROP starved card. It's like HD5830, all specs and no game.

Excuse me but why there's no mention about OC capabilities of the HD7950 or at least include some score from an OCed HD7950. The conclusion and the "Editor choice" is absolutely hilarious. Just put "nVIDIA TWIMTBP choice" and that's it!

Have you developed a benchmark for the GPU Compute performance of these cards?

This one, with 448 cores, I think is especially aimed at that market. (I suspect all GPUs from now on will have one eye on that market.)

I'd like to see some 'standard scene' loaded into Octane or Indigo and get numbers for Samples/second and Samples/pixel. Then get a comparison of the numbers with CUDA/OpenCL turned on.

thanks
