The Radeon HD 7970 has 2,048 processors (“cores”), works at 925 MHz and accesses its 3 GB of GDDR5 memory at 5.5 GHz through a 384-bit interface, creating a bandwidth of 264 GB/s. This HD 7970 is the first DirectX 11.1, the first PCI Express 3.0, and the first 28 nm product to arrive on the market. This video card also includes two BIOS chips, a dual-slot cooler, which uses vapor chamber technology, and four video outputs, one dual-link DVI, one HDMI 1.4a and two mini DisplayPort 1.2.

The Radeon HD 7970 has a recommended price of USD 549 and is expected to become available on January 9, 2012.
