AMD has finally released Radeon HD 7950, which happens to be the cut-down version of the Radeon HD 7970 graphics card that hit the streets on January 9th, 2012. The AMD Radeon HD 7950 graphics card is based on the same 'Tahiti' core architecture that is used on the Radeon HD 7970, but some has less features and lower clock speeds. Read on to see how the Radeon HD 7950 performs!
With the release of the new Radeon 79xx series cards we may have witnessed a change in graphics King. The 7970 is without a doubt currently the performance king. The problem is priced anywhere from $579 for the standard edition 7970 to over $800 for an overclocked version you have a card that few but the affluent can afford. Into the Sapphire 7950 Overclock Edition an enthusiast level graphics card more than capable of rendering any game you want to play even in Eyefinity (as we will demonstrate) for a mere $480 or lower. This puts it in a much more affordable and thus more appealing category.
Like the HD 6950, we hope today that the AMD Radeon HD 7950 comes in at that same strong price point and performance level that makes it such an attractive option for people who want some serious GPU power, but don't want to quite spend the money that's associated with buying the highest end single GPU offering.
Today is of course all about the HD 7950 and the particular one is the brand new Black Edition Double Dissipation model from XFX. This isn't the first time we've see the Black Edition Double D name as we saw XFX launch the HD 7970 Black Edition Double Dissipation 3GB on January 9th.
die kleine Schwester der Radeon HD 7970 schickt sich an, Nvidias Geforce GTX 580 das Leben zu erschweren. Welche Grafikkarte in Sachen Fps, Lautstärke und Leistungsaufnahme den Kühler vorn hat, klärt unser Test der HD 7950.
Graphic cards
With AMD launching the 7950 today, XFX have released their Overclocked Black Edition card and we take a first glance at what it has to offer.
At the launch of any new GPU we always try to make an effort to put a reference based video card up for testing as it's the best model to set a baseline for what we're dealing with when it comes to a new model. At the same time, though, we be fair and in a first come first serve basis the XFX HD 7950 Black Edition Double Dissipation 3GB was the first to arrive at our labs and not only did it carry with itself an aftermarket cooler, but also an out of the box overclock.
Today, though, we take a step back and look at a Radeon HD 7950 from HIS that carries with it what should be the reference cooler along with the standard reference clocks. Of course before we get into the performance side of things there are a few other areas we need to look at.
Graphic cards
With 7950 graphics cards being released into the market, we take a look at what Sapphire have to offer with a dual fan and 100MHz overclock.
The big issue we knew we would run into at the launch of the HD 7950 was getting two cards that would carry the same cooler because AMD had given its partners the chance to do whatever they wanted when it came to the fan this time around.
Thanks to Sapphire, though, we had the opportunity to get a pair of HD 7950s that we knew would carry the same cooler making it the perfect setup for CrossFire testing. Since we haven't looked at these cards yet the first thing we need to do is check out the package.
Benchmark Reviews recently took a look at XFX's R7970 Black Edition Double Dissipation version of AMD's new top-end Tahiti-based video cards. It's the fastest single-GPU video card we've ever tested, but the $600.00 price was a little hard to take, especially with NVIDIA's GTX580 widely available for more than $100 less. Today XFX has supplied us with the next step down the Tahiti line, the R7950 Black Edition Double Dissipation.
Im Oktober 2010 erblickte die 6000er Grafikgeneration von AMD das Licht der Welt. Während es anfangs hauptsächlich das Referenzlayout in den Händlerregalen zu kaufen gab, sind diese heute eher die Ausnahme. Die verschiedenen Grafikkartenhersteller versuchen sich durch unterschiedlichste Anpassungen voneinander abzusetzen. Da man mit Chip- und Speichertakt nur wenige Einflussmöglichkeiten auf das Produkt hat, begann man den Konkurrenzkampf auf ausgefallene Kühllösungen oder besondere Dreingaben auszubreiten. Einer der heutigen Probanden kommt aus der erstgenannten Kategorie und präsentiert die neue Double-Dissipation-Technologie von XFX. Mit den neuen Radeon-Modellen, ausgestattet mit zwei Lüftern, will XFX vieles besser machen, was man bei anderen Herstellern nur selten findet: gute Leistung bei angenehmer Lautstärke. Dafür setzt man auf die Kraft von drei Heatpipes mit einem Durchmesser von jeweils sieben Millimetern, um die im Kern entstehende Hitze an die Kühllamellen zu übertragen. Das Gesamtkonstrukt aus Kühler und den verwendeten Lüftern soll in Kombination mit einem besonderen Ausschnitt im Slotblech einen Temperaturunterschied von bis zu neun Grad Celsius gegenüber den Mitbewerberlösungen erbringen. Ausgestattet mit einer Speichermenge von einem Gigabyte kommt die 6870 von XFX in unser Testlabor, um auf Herz und Nieren geprüft zu werden. Da die technologischen Gegebenheiten sich nicht geändert haben, legen wir besonderen Wert auf die Leistung des Kühlsystems. Welche Leistung das Gespann aus Radeon 6870 gepaart mit "Double-D" genanntem Kühlsystem von XFX erreicht, erfahrt Ihr in diesem Bericht.
