Yeston Readies Radeon HD 7970 in Cheaper Version
Chinese company Yeston presented their new version of Radeon HD 7970 graphics card, on which AMD logo can be seen. This is likely a refreshed PCB for Tahiti core.
It is possible that this new PCB may be designed for Radeon HD 7950, but since we know that Radeon HD 7950 will use two power 6pin connectors, this model is probably for Radeon HD 7970, which uses 6pin plus 8pin.
Designers from Yeston have used cheaper materials, but it is unknown whether it will have any influence on the final price.
Yeston Radeon HD 7970 will have two DVI ports, one HDMI and a DisplayPort 1.2 connectors. This card has only one BIOS (Refrence model has a DUAL BIOS feature). It is not known when this card will hit the stores.
