Radeon HD 7970 is not listed first "price cut" 400 big yuan

Taken together, the Radeon HD 7970 is an excellent graphics card. It performs well in all aspects (although some of the game performance is lower than expected), and the power consumption temperature is controlled very reasonably. However, the price is really “deep” and it’s 4699 RMB. The child is more than half the cost of the previous generation.

Now that the good news has come, we learned through exclusive internal channels that AMD has quietly lowered the retail price of the Radeon HD 7970 in the domestic market yesterday. It is now 4,299 yuan.

As a result, although it is still 1200-1300 yuan higher than the Radeon HD 6970, but it is already reasonable, and as the most direct competitor GeForce GTX 580 starting price is 3999 yuan, when it is basically not much Loosening. Based on this, the Radeon HD 7970 is about 7.5% more expensive, and according to the current performance of the game performance can lead 15-25%, general computing, surface segmentation performance has greatly improved, coupled with the technical characteristics, power consumption temperature, etc. In terms of progress, the price of 4,299 yuan is still acceptable, and there is still a lot of room for price cuts in the future.

However, according to AMD’s official press release, the suggested retail price of the Radeon HD 7970 in North America is US$549, equivalent to RMB3480 at the exchange rate, even if the tax rate and other issues are taken into account, it is much cheaper than domestic ones.

Radeon HD 7970 will begin global sales on January 9, 2012. It does not rule out the possibility of price adjustments occurring again in the next half-month, but even if the rate is not too high, GTX280 will swell by a thousand dollars overnight. The phenomenon is impossible. After all, Kepler is still relatively far away. AMD will have a certain market power in the short term.
