Non-reference designs on launch day
With the launch of the HD 7950 getting closer, it is no surprise leaks are coming far and wide, but today we finally almost get the complete picture. According to an engineering sample detailed on Hard Forum, the HD 7950 will launch with a street price of $449 and included 1792 Stream processors, 32 ROPS, and come equipped with a 3GB frame buffer running on a 384-bit interface. Additionally, the GPU and memory clock speeds on this beast are set at 800MHz and 1250MHz (5000MHz QDR), respectively.
However, most models being released are ditching the reference design for a more robust thermal solution and higher clock speeds. Since the launch is still a few weeks out, we are unsure of the exact clock speeds being used, but the pictures speak for themselves when it comes to the aftermarket design.
The HD 7950 is expected to launch January 31, so make sure to check back for the full launch review, and possibly a CrossFire and TriFire review as well.
