It's not a HD7970
Artificially low base clocks
NVIDIA's Kepler is just around the corner. Any purchase may be premature
Nearly as fast as the much pricier HD 7970, Improved power savings when idle, Support for 4K video and other forward-looking features
Expensive, 4K video content and screens likely won't be common for a year or more
AMD's Radeon HD 7970 may be the new single-GPU video-card performance leader, but at $100 less and nearly as fast, the HD 7950 is the smarter buy if you're looking for both power and value. (Like its sibling, however, some of its future-looking features...
Throughout the review we compared the HD 7950 to the HD 7970 on multiple occasions. The reason behind this is because both models are based on the same core architecture, but the HD 7950 has slightly lower specifications so it can fit into a more affor...
Abstract: Today AMD launched their new HD 7950, which aims at being a high-end graphics card due to its pricing, which is comparative to NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580 with its current market pricing. AMD is aiming at higher energy efficiency compared to its market ri...
Before our analysis, we have to explain that we re-tested the Radeon HD 7970 using the latest drivers provided by AMD, and that is the reason that the numbers for this video card presented in this review are different from the Radeon HD 7970's original re...

Good gaming performance for the price. Excellent power usage.
Not appreciably faster than competing Nvidia card on every title. Requires two six-pin power supply cables. Blocks an adjacent expansion slot
For PC gamers who want high frame rates but don't want to pay more than $500 to get them, AMD's new Radeon HD 7950 video card is a compelling, powerful choice....
Good performance increase vs. HD 6950, Excellent energy efficiency, Outstanding overclocking potential, Native full-size HDMI & DisplayPort output, Dual BIOS, 3 GB of memory with 384-bit bus, Adds support for PCI-Express 3.0 and DirectX 11.1, Support for
Noisy in 3D, Price could be lower, CCC Overdrive limits too low
AMD's Radeon HD 7950 is finally released after what seemed like an eternity after the HD 7970 launch. The reference design of the card looks just like its older brother. Internally we see less shaders, reduced clock speeds, one power phase less and two...
The AMD Radeon HD 7950 is one hell of an impressive pixel-pusher, and Nvidia is going to have to work incredibly hard with its Kepler cards to best this excellent card....

ASUS or Sapphire?While both of these cards are based on the same high-end GPU, they represent opposite ends of the spectrum in their manufacturer's approach. Compared to the reference card, ASUS has gone all out, beefing up the card, changing the configur...
