Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 Photo's and Benchmarks got Leaked
It's a little sad and frustrating that some websites can't respect embargo's, however a Sweden based website SweClockers posted the first photo's of a Sapphire Dual-X OC graphics card. Not only that, they ran and published a few benchmarks as well. The Radeon HD 7790 presumably is based on a 28nm Bonaire based GPU based on GCN 2.0 architecture.
The GPU has 768 stream processors with 1 or 2 GB running over a 128-bit GDDR5 memory bus. SweClockers reports that the card will get a 150 Watt TDP abd a 1075 MHz clock frequency with 6.4 Ghz on the memory. The Sapphire Dual-X OC comes with two fans, dual-DVI, HDMI and display port.
If all info is correct then this might be a nice little entry level graphics card alright.

Yeah, but not on extreme because I'm guessing the 128-bit bus starts to slow the GPU there.
Entry level faster than previous gen's high end

It´s a good alternative for low buck, but i´m keeping my 7770 until next gen to grab some nice baby.

still, quite a nice jump from 7770 ... We will see on gaming how the memory bus impact performance.

that's pretty fast.
7770 = 72gb/s
7790 = 102gb/s
7850 = 153gb/s
gtx650ti = 86.4gb/s
seems the perfect spot, the right memory speed for a gpu that isn't made for running on 1080p 8x msaa, not even the 7850 can score that. 7790 is made for just some post processing like smaa/fxaa, and maybe 1080p

with 6.4 Ghz on the memory

I thing the V-Ram is at the end, but the GPU can go higher i guess.

It's so ironic that this website says,
"It's a little sad and frustrating that some websites can't respect embargo's"
and then goes and posts what that website posts.

Looks like a bad arsenal mid range card. Just might be my new card soon.

Hahah, I know, right?
We all need a little hypocrisy here and there once in awhile; it's harmless guilt.

Well realistically, what do you guys want ? For us to not post this ? I have no problem with that.
I mean, if the websites that leak content stop doing so, certainly you'd not see any news on leaked information. However once the content is out and exposed it spreads like a fire over the internet. At that point for us to not follow means I am sending my reader base to competing websites that do post the information.
E.g. people will end up at other websites as they have the scoop and we don't. I just wish people would stop breaking NDAs and post stuff that is not supposed to be out there.

Lol, I certainly have no problem with it; info is info, leaked or not, hypocrisy or not.
If you want to take it up, do it to the guy I replied to.
It's just that maybe the sentiment about "being frustrated on sites not respecting embargos or NDAs" isn't suited well as a starting sentence the next time Guru3D spreads out leaked information.
A bit of a double-edged sword, though.
You acknowledge it's wrong makes you a bit hypocrite, but not saying anything about it makes you seem to be fine with not respecting embargoes.
Such is life, I guess.

I feel like hypocrite has too much of a negative connotation to it. I mean Guru3D runs on page views. The only person that should be viewed in negative light here is the original leak.
