At $349, the Radeon HD 7870 is pricey. But overall, it manages impressive performance, outpacing Nvidia's similarly priced GeForce GTX 570 on most tests, even besting the step-up GTX 580 on a few. It's a safe choice for those who need this level of perfo...
The Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition has performance comparable to the GeForce GTX 570. In our tests, both video cards achieved the same performance level on all the games we ran, except on FarCry 2, where the GeForce GTX 570 beat the Radeon HD 7870 by between...
Let's round things out with a couple of our famous scatter plots. We're laying average performance (based on the results from the games we tested) along the Y axis and prices along the X axis. The sweet spot will be the card closest to the top left of th...

Good performance. Impressively low power draw. Offers full range of current display technologies.
Competing GPUs offer similar performance for less. Requires two PCIe power connections. Blocks an expansion slot when installed
The Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition is a powerful and feature-rich addition to AMD's line of enthusiast video cards, but its price may be a bit of a problem....
Abstract: The Southern Islands family consists of three 28nm GPUs: Tahiti, Pitcairn and Cape Verde. Of the three, we have examined the high-end Tahiti GPU and mainstream Cape Verde, leaving only Pitcairn untested. In today's review we are able to round out the seri...
The HD 7850 doesn’t quite live up to the performance levels of its sibling but most of our praise for the HD 7870 applies here as well. While it may not be able to achieve the framerates necessary to be considered a high end solution, the Pitcairn Pro’...
