GCN, is it on all 7k cards?

Espionage724

I happen to be getting the HIS IceQ X H785QN2G2M Radeon HD 7850 2GB and I noticed, it wasn't advertising GCN, but other cards of the 7k series were.

Do not all 7k series cards have GCN, or am I misunderstanding something?

Not all 7k cards are based on GCN.

HD7750, HD7770, HD7850, HD7870, HD7950 and HD7970 are the only GCN based cards.

So as long as it is one of those cards, it is GCN? Regardless if the manufacturer advertises it or not?

Yes.

If you're getting one, then think of HD7870 great performance when OC'ed (1100-1200mhz) or HD7950.

Cool, thanks all for the clarification

I already ordered the 7850 though, should be getting it tomorrow

Should be a pretty decent upgrade from my 5570 though :p
