[Attachment 8761]In a surprise move AMD have given us a great early Christmas present with the announcement of their next generation graphics card, the long awaited HD7970. It's based on entirely new architecture rather than revision and the first fully featured review is already up thanks to AnandTech, so head on over to have a read of it now.

Massively disappointing. It only marginally steals the single-GPU crown, which considering this is brand new architecture seems laughable.
About as laughable as AMD's new desktop processors.

It's actually quite impressive from my point of view, its definately a step forward for ATI, its got a half decent price, i'd still rather sli or crossfire two cards.
I think though, the biggest thing here is while they are going for performance, next gen Nvidia card's are aiming for lower power consumption.
