Forums - PC - AMD Radeon HD 8000 series "Sea Islands" delayed to Q4 2013

The thing with this though (and I'm no expert so feel free to correct me) is that the rumors suggest that the HD 8000 series won't be a big jump over the current line-up. Something like 10-30%, which I've heard is entirely possible to reach with current cards by overclocking them. Seeing how they've been using driver updates to get big boosts to the latest games, I don't know if Sea Islands will have a huge impact anyway.

I myself want to replace my 6870 (among other things). But considering how I'm no power player, I wouldn't mind getting a 7950 and then just waiting for the 9000 series. It's not like I play many games on PC anyway, and the ones I do aren't super taxing.


HD8970 should offer a pretty big jump, Nvidias GK110 sound like a beast, AMD can't fall behind.

I was thinking of waiting for the HD8000 series but now i am so glad i bought my HD7950 last week.
