By the grace of TUL Corporation, we have been presented with a PowerColor PCS+ HD 7870 MYST Edition. PowerColor themselves are a Taiwanese subset of the previously mentioned TUL corporation, and are licensed producers of the ATI Radeon cards, as well as Nvidia cards, which they release under the Zogis brand name. Since PowerColor has the ability to change the specifications on the cards they sell, most of their cards are overclocked by default, something of a double-edged sword in my opinion, but more on that later. Ranging in price from $235 and $263 depending on the retailer, this card, with its great many features is possibly within the higher ends of availability for most consumers.
PowerColor are taking the Tahiti GPU, usually used in 7900 series cards, and pricing/configuring it at 7870 level. Call it Tahiti LE, 7950 Light... or 7870 Myst with PCS+ cooling. Today we take a look at how it performs in games like Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 3 and Hitman Absolution.
Lauren takes a look at the PowerColor PCS+ HD7870 Myst Edition, based on the Tahiti LE Chipset.
Today we update the battle between the 680 and 7970 by taking two of the most impressive models, both custom factory overclocked, and put them head to head in real world gameplay which includes Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3 and Skyrim as well as media playback and GPU computing... enter the PowerColor HD 7970 PCS+ (Vortex 2) and Gainward GTX 680 Phantom.
So last week we had our first peak at the kind of new R9 380. Well it just so happens that card was only a 2GB model. Lucky for us PowerColor sent over their PCS+ R9 380 and it has a 4GB frame buffer. So today I’m going to check out the card from PowerColor and see what they have going on and along with that we can see if having the additional frame buffer is worth it in our benchmark suite. With these cards not exactly being focused towards higher resolution gameplay I’m not sure if we will see too much at 1080p but given the 1440p numbers we saw before I bet we see some improvement there!
We check out the new Tahiti LE based HD 7870 from PowerColor and give you the low down.
Today, though, we get to move away from the reference card design and see what's going on with our first retail HD 7870 in the form of the PowerColor PCS+ HD 7870 GHz OC Edition 2GB. We haven't seen much from PowerColor in the form of the PCS+ series, but it's always one that has taken my eye.
What's making these new cooling solutions so much more attractive as well is the fact that the new 28nm GPU on the HD 7000 series runs so cool that the latest coolers are seeing some awesome performance on the new models. We've got our fingers crossed that the PCS+ cooler that PowerColor has opted for today follows the trend of strong cooling.
We check out the brand new PCS+ HD 7970 3GB VORTEX II video card from PowerColor and overclock it to see how it goes.
For this review I will be looking at a product that comes from a very well known name from the world of graphics cards, the company is Power Color and the product of theirs I will be looking at is one of their lower range cards the PCS+ Radeon HD5550.
For this review I will be looking at a product that comes from PowerColor and the product of theirs I will be looking at is the PCS++ Radeon HD5770. Having recently looked at the PowerColor PCS+ HD5550 here at XtremeCompting I am expecting something good from this review.
