Re: ATI graphics card 7970 3 GB vs R9 270X Toxic 2 GB

Hi Mike,

Thanks for confirming my thoughts. I actually thought the Toxic had the same
number of SPs as the 7970 but realised I was mistaken.

Thanks for your help

Cheers
Jarod

Hi Jarod,

I just did some envelope math (multiply the number of SPs by their clock
speed) and came up with the idea that the 7970 will be about a third quicker
than the R9 at RC5 processing.

Kind regards,
Mike
