Based on the RV770 GPU, this card will have 800 unified stream processors. 256 bits memory width with GDDR3. It supports DX10.1 and SM 4.1. There will be an improved unified video decoder. The HDMI comes with 7.1 HD audio and it supports advance PowerPlay. The GPU clocks at 625MHz and memory will be 512MB of GDDR3 at 1GHz. The card that we got is a PowerColor card. A check on the GPU-Z show that the GPU runs at 625MHz and memory is at 993MHz.

Performance wise, this card is really a killer. It run faster than most 8800 or 9800 class of NVIDIA cards. In CrossFire mode, it even outperform a 9800GX2. Don't believe me until you read the benchmarks as shown in the review link below.
