A new performance leader for AMD and a strong end to the year
Abstract: For the last 12 months, AMD has had the Radeon HD 6970 be its premier single GPU graphics card, competing head to head with the GeForce GTX 570 and at times challenging the mighty GTX 580. For about $369 today, you can still get one hell of a graphics ...
First let’s talk about the numbers, as we saw some pretty compelling frame rates from the Radeon HD 7970. In the dozen games we tested with, the Radeon HD 7970 was on average 42% faster than the Radeon HD 6970. That’s a mind blowing result when you con...
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...
We finally have our first 28nm GPU and while the performance was not exactly earth shattering, the HD 7970 is still a strong graphics card that easily outperforms all single GPU solution, and has an improved performance per watt ratio over the previous...
The launch of the Radeon HD 7970 has presented us with a great deal of data and even more subjects to consider, so it's difficult in the best of times to try to whittle this down to a single conclusion. Nevertheless, based on our testing I believe there a...
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....
Final Words & Conclusion AMD finally has an answer at hand to dethrone the mighty GeForce GTX 580, and with a decent enough margin. The new GPU architecture seems to work out well and definitely is more capable then the last generation GPUs. We notic...
If you love fast graphics cards, you are simply going to be infatuated with the new Radeon HD 7970. For the first time in a couple of generations, AMD will have the fastest single-GPU solution on the market - at least until we see what NVIDIA is going to...
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...
