Abstract: CodeName Southern Islands December 2011 22th, launch of the new HD7900 series, and starting with the HD7970 card. AMD showed us a presentation in Powerpoint format with impressive numbers, which must be verified with a sample on-hand by using a larg...
This review really surprised me. I expected it to be better than the HD 6970 but not to the level of the HD 6990. I had hoped it would beat the GTX 580, but didn't have a clue by how much it would do so. Instead, we see a GPU that is tantamount to pari...
Great Performance, Awesome Feature Set, Good Power Consumption, DX11.1 Support (eventually), Driver Maturity Likely To Further Enhance Performance
Not Available Yet, Going To Be Pricey
With that said, we do think the performance profile we've laid out for you here is likely to change significantly as AMD is able to wring more performance from their new architecture. NVIDIA was able to drastically enhance Fermi's performance as the compa...
As the first 28nm GPU, the HD 7970 3GB was always going to be exciting; with such a significant step down in transistor size and subsequent increase in stream processors and clock speeds, the GPU was always going to have enormous performance potential....
The Radeon HD 7970 proved to be the fastest single-GPU video card ever released. It was between 8% and 33% faster than the GeForce GTX 580 in most games we ran. The exceptions were Deus Ex: Human Revolution, where both video cards achieved the same per...
Solid performance increase, Low power consumption, Excellent overclocking potential, Native full-size HDMI & DisplayPort output, Dual BIOS, 3 GB of memory, Adds support for PCI-Express 3.0 and DirectX 11.1, Support for multiple independent audio streams
Noisy in 3D, High price, CCC Overdrive limits too low, PowerTune and ZeroCore may complicate advanced overclocking
AMD's new Radeon HD 7970 successfully introduces the company's new Graphics Core Next GPU architecture to the market. The move away from the VLIW shaders promises increased flexibility and higher performance, while still retaining compatibility with dr...
With the last generation of video cards from AMD and NVIDIA, a lot of people felt a bit hard done by. Sure, the GTX 480 to GTX 580 and HD 5970 to HD 6970 brought with it some nice performance gains, but there wasn't the technological leap that we wou...
