    Those are obviously BS bids.

    Paper launch is rumored to be April 24th, but there will be no availability on that date. Most likely early next month before we can actually buy one.

    8.192 TFLOPS FP32
    2.048 TFLOPS FP64
    TDP is ~375W
    GPU Boost is still unknown

    Expected price is $1000

    Pretty nice review results actually. If I *had* to have the latest and greatest, I'd take one over the Titan. Mops the floor in any OpenCL apps. Of course, you would hope those projects would have dedicated CUDA apps as well, and then it would be a much more even race. But still - Adobe, AutoCAD, etc - the big players are shifting to OpenCL support and not doing CUDA now, so the game may slowly be changing for AMD/Nvidia.

    @Zombie - have you tried any of the latest drivers with your "officially unofficial" 7990 that was unstable? I wonder if things will work better for you now that AMD has their own on the block and maybe there are some tweaks in the drivers they will and/or have already just made to help this.

    There you go Z. Save some more money on your ridiculous power bill
