With a new line of graphics cards from Club3D, we put the 7850 royalKing through its paces.

Club3D Radeon HD 7850 1.024 MB Die Club3D Radeon HD 7850 royalQueen basiert auf der beliebten (weil preisgünstigen) AMD Radeon HD 7850. Allerdings wurde der Speicher gegenüber der Referenz halbiert – mit Folgen?

Following our recent review on the 7790 from Sapphire, we also have a couple of cards from Club3D but as a change to the normal routine of looking at a single card first then looking at how two of their cards perform together, I've decided to see how far the 7790 will go when taken to the max, which in this case is a two way configuration.

This week has been a big one in the graphics card market, with two new cards launched from both the major players our there - namely AMD and then NVIDIA. The launch of the 7790 was one that AMD intended to shake the market up with, and following my review on Sapphire's 7790 and then a review on two of Club3D's 7790's in CrossFire and seeing that they perform a whole lot better than I expected compared to when I read about them, it's now time to see how just one of Club3D's cards perform in relation to Sapphires offering.

Dubbed one of the most highly anticipated games of the year, Battlefield 3 saw pre-orders galore and when it finally arrived, a lot of consumers were sadly let down by their systems, with the intense game needing a lot more juice than first expected.
This gave graphics card manufacturers the chance to revamp a card, add new features or even just bundle in the game for good measure.
The Radeon 6950 is classed as one of the best bang for buck cards on the market, giving a good balance of performance while keeping a few pennies in the bank at the same time. Due to this, it instantly became a hit with consumers and they flocked out to buy them in abundance.
Today we have a Radeon HD 6950 from our good friends at Club3D. It may look standard, but it is basically identical to their patented CoolStream card, but comes with Battlefield 3 included. CoolStream is the cooling technology behind Club3D's graphics cards, and as we've seen in other reviews of their cards, it really is a great cooling solution, so we're eager to see how this card performs.

eTeknix has fought hard over the last few months to be able to bring you the Fiji articles that we have, some may have been a little late, but we have managed to get them out to you one way or another. Stock levels of the Fiji core and HBM have been extremely limited, so AMD had to make the tough decision to only allow an severely limited number of media samples and plumb the rest to the consumer market.

With the price of Ultra HD 4K screens dropping this year there has never been a better time to upgrade your system. Today we look at the latest high end graphics card from Club3D – the R9 290X RoyalAce. This card ships with a custom cooler design and a healthy out of the box overclock. Today we will find out just how well it performs.

Most gamers today still overwhelmingly game on single monitor systems, whether that be at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (FHD) or 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) – the two most popular “high end” gaming resolutions. Of course gamers using 1080p displays are still the most common but both 5760 x 1080 and 2560 x 1440 are gaining more traction with gamers as “only” 1080p starts to become dated (and is often put to shame but high resolution tablets and ultrabooks). 2560 x 1440 is growing in popularity a lot thanks to the affordability of the South Korean WQHD panels and the fact 1440p panels use the same aspect ratio (16:9) as 1080p panels, so are a “direct” upgrade. It just makes sense that most gamers will choose 1440p panels as their next upgrades instead of WXQHD (2560 x 1600) displays which never really took off, just like its predecessor WUXGA (1920 x 1200) didn’t, maybe due to the less popular 16:10 aspect ratio. What relevance does this have to today’s review you may be thinking? Well today we have a GPU that aims to hit the sweet spot of performance and pricing for 2560 x 1440 and 5760 x 1080 gaming resolutions. We’ve managed to get Club3D’s R9 280X royalKing 3GB graphics card in for review. Club 3D’s R9 280X royalKing is based on AMD’s $299 3GB R9 280X GPU, which is essentially a rebranded HD 7970. Offering a hefty amount of GPU horsepower and 3GB of frame buffer it is designed for “more-than-1080p” gaming.

The winter months can be depressing, with saturating rain and icy snow pervading dark evenings, so why not spend some money on a new graphics card for yourself, tuck up tight in bed and game on a big high definition television set? Club3D might have the answer in the shape of their HD7970 RoyalAce graphics card, featuring enhanced clock speeds, lower noise emissions and proprietary cooling system.

Nachdem Release der GTX 660 Ti von Nvidia geriet in die Preisgestaltung der Grafikkarten endlich wieder Bewegung. Angestoßen wurde dies seitens AMD mit einer durchaus beachtlichen Preissenkung der HD7850, HD7870 und der 7970. Eines dieser Modelle haben wir uns einmal genauer vorgenommen und geprüft, ob sie für den aktuellen Ladenpreis wirklich ihr Geld wert ist. Die Club 3D HD7870 Royal Queen kommt mit einem individuellen Kühler daher und will durch den Preis sowie der erbrachten Leistung überzeugen. Wir prüfen ob dies gelungen ist. Des Weiteren feiern wir mit diesem Artikel unseren ersten Grafikkarten Testbericht, getreu dem Motto: "let the show beginn!".
