Q4 2013 seriously.? Not that there exist games to surpass the strength of current enthusiast hardware, but it's so...well, pushed back.

Let's hope drivers are gonna catch perfection until then.

hmmm so the suggestion is both AMD and Nvidia have had their next gen cards pushed back. Wouldn't they want to get the new models out first so they can look better in benchmarks against the competition?

Hmmmm...

both AMD and Nvidia have their cards made at TSMC
both the Xbox Next and PS4 are rumoured to contain AMD GPU's
so, from the last point, you can deduce that Xbox Next and PS4 GPU's will be made at TSMC
both Microsoft and Sony want to have enough units to meet demand when they go on sale
the Xbox Next and PS4 GPU's will have a higher priority at TSMC
due to the demand for the Xbox Next GPU's and PS4 GPU's AMD and Nvidia GPU's are of a lower priority
AMD are okay with the lower priority because they get sales regardless through the console GPU's
Nvidia relents, it allows them more time to tweak their hardware
neither AMD or Nvidia want to admit this is the case
end result is, both next gen GPU architecture series are delayed

Yes, I did make that up, and no doubt it will be disagreed upon by many, many people, but if you actually look at it objectively, it does actually make sense!
Orrrrrr they dont need to release refreshes as they already have beast cards. AMD has struck gold with its GCN architecture, and Nvidia have released a very power efficient architecture suitable for gaming.

Add to that the trend that the gap between generations of GPUs is about 2 years, give or take. Nvidia: GTX280, June 2008, GTX480, April 2010, GTX680, March 2012. AMD: HD4870, June 2008, HD5870, December 2009, HD7970, January 2012, and now, HD8xxx, possibly Q4 2013.

Of course, this wont be on 28nm if its not a refresh.

Only just bought a 7950, so I'm happy that it will remain a flagship card for a few more months.

it all depends on when nVidia will release their new card series. Hopefully rumours are correct and they are coming out later this month. That would be really good news for "Green Team"

There are a few 7990's going about, i was looking at a £1200 7990 hybrid cooling one earlier, 1100mhz boost clocks that needed 3 x 8pin so crazy price and power usage, would be some card though.

I thinks it's good they're waiting, AMD hasn't been pushing the margin hard enough lately. The HD7000 series is what the HD6000 should've been, and from what I heard it seems that the HD8000 is mostly just a step up from the HD7000, so if waiting means it'll be better (even if just because of drivers) then great.

There's 7990 for sale now the powercolor for about $899 and an Asus Aires for well over $1000 bucks with funky cooling. They aren't reference design though iirc

That Asus Ares is just a silly amount of money, I can buy 4 7970's for what that costs in the UK! Literally!

You pay to say I have one of the very limited, 1 in a 1000, rare cards. Some people will pay purely for that

Game design etc. is in a little bit of a funk right now pending the release of the new consoles, and there really isn't anything that an HD 7900 GPU can't handle well @ 1080p. AMD doesn't need to release the HD 8000 series now, even if it was/is ready.

That's true too, 7970 has ~4.2tflops of compute power and U4E needs around that to run with all bells and whistles.

Im not happy with this news

I bought a GTX 660 to my new PC as a cheap and temporary card untill next gen arrives. I whas optimistic and hoped for new cards from NVIDIA or AMD quite soon. Now om stuck with GTX 660 for a long time ahead.

Its only the proper 680 thats coming this month (Titan), their next series isn't coming out until after AMD's.

HD8000 series has already been released. It's an OEM series. Did anyone pay any attention to the statement from AMD?

"Yes, I made that comment. I cannot say anything more than what I’ve already said, really. AMD and its partners are happy with the HD 7000 Series, and it will continue to be our emphasis in the channel for the foreseeable future. I should note that HD 8000 Series has never been so much as hinted at for a channel release. Anything to the contrary is an unsubstantiated rumor fabricated to drive traffic. " - Robert Hallock
