Today we have a couple of customized solutions based on the Radeon HD 5870 GPU. Both have proprietary coolers, and Gigabyte's card also has an original PCB. Besides, both graphics cards are factory-overclocked.
AMD’s HD 7790 graphics emerged on the scene roughly at the same time as Nvidia’s GTX 650 Ti Boost graphics card. The AMD HD 7790 was released to fill that rather large performance void left between the HD 7850 and HD 7770 using a specially designed GPU called Bonaire. The Gigabyte graphics card that we have here today represents the HD 7790 pushed to the best it can offer. We have Gigabyte’s 2GB variant of the HD 7790 with the WindForce cooling solution and a factory overclock, more specifically we have the GV-R7790OC-2GB Revision 1.1 graphics card.
We say its the “best that the HD 7790 can offer” because Gigabyte have maxed out supported GDDR5 memory by adding 2GB and they have put a rather beefy dual 100mm fan WindForce cooling solution on it. Furthermore, Gigabyte have taken the stock clock of 1GHz and raised that by 7.5% to 1075MHz. The 2GB of GDDR5 over the 128bit interface runs at the default 6GHz effective memory speed, so no overclocking there. Despite the overclock Gigabyte have recommended just a 450W power supply as a minimum for this unit while AMD recommends 500W.
In terms of features this card packs most of AMD’s high end features such as Direct X 11.1 support, GCN architecture, AMD Eyefinity support (up to six displays supported), AMD App Acceleration, AMD HD3D technology, AMD CrossFire (max 2 way), AMD PowerPlay, AMD PowerTune and AMD ZeroCore. The main stand-out features are Eyefinity and HD3D support on such a budget GPU.
Today we are reviewing a new card from Gigabyte, the HD6770 Silent Cell, which is a passively cooled discrete graphics card built on a 2oz copper layer with full overclocking capabilities. Gigabyte also claim that temperatures with this design be reduced by 10% when compared against the reference solution. Is this an ideal graphics card for a low noise performance PC?
Today we are looking at the latest card from Gigabyte, the HD7870 Overclock Edition which is supplied with a custom cooler, comprising not two, but three fans. This is the first custom cooled HD7870 we have looked at since the launch of the reference card on March 5th. Gigabyte claim the card is almost silent thanks to a proprietary ‘anti turbulence’ fan design.
Today we have not one, not two but three GTX 580's on our test bench and we will be running them through a huge amount of real world testing to show everyone reading the complete picture of GTX 580. From standard gaming at 1920x1080 to surround gameplay at 5760x1080. 3D Vision to Blu-Ray 3D via a comparison with AMD HD3D. GPU computing and PhysX... F1 2010 with the DX11 patch and even Call of Duty: Black Ops... It's all here in comparisons which include the GTX 480, Radeon 5870, 5870 Crossfire, 5970 and 6870.
With the R7 250X OC video card, Gigabyte succeeds to provide for the entry-level market a competitive card which can run games at either medium or high detail levels, while using display resolutions up to 1680x1050. Plenty of connectivity options are also offered, along with a dual-slot cooling system which remains silent at all times.
Every new launch means new custom PCB designs from the manufactures. The first to hit our office this time around was an R9 270X from Gigabyte with their Windforce cooler design and an overclock. In the past I have been impressed with Gigabytes Windforce designs for their pure cooling power, I’m excited to see what three cooling fans on a large heatsink will do for keeping the R9 270X cool. But first let’s take a look at the card.
If you are working with a budget of £180 or less there has never been a better time to buy a graphics card. The Gigabyte R9 270X Windforce OC that we are looking at today for instance is supplied in a preoverclocked state, with a custom cooler and has a retail price of only £164.99 inc vat. Is this the graphics card you need for a new cost effective system build in 2014?
If you missed the launch of ATI's Radeon HD 4770 GPU you're in for a special treat today. PCSTATS is testing out Gigabyte's GV-R477D5-512H-B Radeon HD 4770 videocard alone, and in Crossfire mode so you'll know exactly what two of these mainstream cards can do for you! We already know one Radeon HD 4770 graphics card offers great performance for under a hundred bucks, the real question is what level of gaming performance will two 4770's teamed up under Crossfire deliver? Mainstream videocards often scale faster and farther than pricey flagship videocards, so it'll be interesting to see where two Radeon HD 4770's stand against videocards several times their price.
Buying a $400 graphics card is certainly not where the majority of people are when it comes to building their own systems. The fact is that the best selling video cards are still in that $100 and under price range. Today, we look at a card that falls into that category, the Gigabyte HD 5670. Read on to see how it compares to the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT, which was a very popular card a couple years back!
