Really disappointed that they 270 would be a cut-down 7950. There's no excuse for REDUCING the VRAM. That's just dumb. And if they cut the bus width as well, that's just insult to injury.
Probably because the 7950 and 7970 were just too close on performance once you equalized the clocks. Same reason why the 760's specs were adjusted. The 670 was just too close to the 580. Both companies likely felt they needed a bit more space between the 2 cards. Any consolation, it should make the 270 less expensive.
