PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 PCS+ Review
|
|
Overclocking PowerColor`s HD 7850 PCS+ is much like overclocking any of the 7XXX series of Southern Islands GCN core-based video cards as it relates strictly to overclocking. Each core and memory combination is going to to have its limits. First off using PowerColor`s Powerup Tuner utility limited the clock speed on the core to a maximum of 1050MHz on the core and 1425MHz on the GDDR5 memory. Having seen speeds in excess of 1200MHz on just about every GCN card I have tested, I felt this was a bit low and moved to a different utility that allowed a higher core clock on the core. Sapphire`s TriXX utility was able to deliver this added clock speed and allowed the clock speed on the core to scale well up and over the 1200MHz mark. A 235MHz boost in GPU speed is worth the added work to get there in this case. The Elpida-based memory was not as flexible when it came to overclocking with a maximum of 1400MHz stable. The memory clock speeds were not able to overclock high enough to really add a significant amount of memory bandwidth to help the benchmarking scores. Even so they still managed to improve by 175MHz."

Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 2GB OC Edition Video Card Review @ Legit Reviews
|
|
The Sapphire HD 7790 2GB GDDR5 OC has a good overall appearance with a black PCB, black plastic fan shroud and a black fan. The triple black motif is broken up with some chrome accents across the fan shroud and the exhaust bracket itself. You can also see the two copper U-shaped heatpipes, which adds a third dimension when it comes to the color pallet..."

Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 2GB OC Review
|
|
After all the testing is done, the Sapphire HD 7790 2GB OC will offer up additional FPS performance when the settings are increased to take advantage of the larger frame buffer. Instances where running with a quartet of 4K monitors or when attempting to game at Eyefinity resolutions can provide some benefit over the 1GB-equipped cards. The most graphic example I saw in my testing of where the 2GB on this HD 7790 paid dividends was in the 3DMark Fire Extreme testing where this card proved without a doubt when the game settings are indeed high enough you do see a point of difference."

XFX R7790 Black Edition OC @ LanOC Reviews
|
|
The AMD product lineup had a small hole in it for a long time between the HD 7770 and the HD 7850. We heard a few rumors about the possibility of an HD 7790 or an HD 7830 and just after LanOC V12 AMD launched their answer the HD 7790. We are a little late to the party, but we have had time to put ours to the test with our revamped benchmark suit that features the latest games. Lets take a look at how it performs compared to AMDs other offerings as well as NVidias new GTX 650 Ti Boost. Is this a good time to pick up a new video card?"

GTX 650 Ti Boost SLI @ LanOC Reviews
|
|
Yesterday I took a look at the MSI GTX 650 Ti Boost Twin Frozr 2Gb OC Edition, although I teased about its extremely long name I was impressed with the card overall. Being the second GTX 650 Ti Boost that we took a look at, I of course couldnt resist pairing it up with the reference card as well for a little SLI testing. As with our other SLI and crossfire posts we dont mess around talking about the cards at all. You can check out the individual reviews for that. We jump right into the performance results and give you what you want to see. Enjoy!"

ASUS GTX670 DirectCU Mini OC review: pint-size GTX670
|
|
It's an impressive feat that ASUS was able to design such a small GeForce GTX 670. It's a smart move, in our opinion, as compact Mini-ITX systems are gaining in popularity. The ASUS GTX670 DirectCU Mini is by far the fastest graphics card in this size, so if you're building a compact gaming PC that can't fit standard high-end cards, this is an excellent option.

MSI GTX 650Ti Boost Video Card Review
|
|
If you look at the GTX 650Ti Boost product offerings you have two basic choices. You can either go with a reference designed card as released by NVidia or select one of the hot-clocked editions like the MSI N650Ti Boost. Of course the second of these promises higher performance with a great price point for gamers.

Modern Graphics Processor, Part 4: The GPGPU era arrives
|
|
With DX10's arrival, vertex and pixel shaders maintained a large level of common function, so moving to a unified shader arch eliminated a lot of unnecessary duplication of processing blocks. The first GPU to utilize this architecture was Nvidia's iconic G80.
Four years in development and $475 million produced a 681 million-transistor, 484mm² behemoth -- first as the 8800 GTX flagship and then with cards aimed at several segments. Aided by the new Coverage Sample anti-aliasing (CSAA) algorithm, Nvidia saw its GTX demolish every single competitor in outright performance.

GIGABYTE HD7790 Review @ Vortez
|
|
The AMD Radeon HD 7790, codenamed `Bonaire`, is the latest entry level graphics card to exit the AMD laboratories. We tested the HD7750 and 7770 some time ago now but with NVIDIA`s GTX650Ti stealing the limelight recently, AMD have upped the ante by releasing this GPU with an entirely new 28nm Graphics Core Next ASIC and in doing so hope to reclaim the entry level crown. We get a first glance of the card today before committing ourselves to our usual full in-depth review."

AMD Radeon HD 7790 graphics card
|
|
We're back with a review of Gigabyte's take on the AMD Radeon HD 7790 graphics card, featuring 1GB GDDR5 memory and 1075 MHz core clock out of the gates. The $149 USD card is designed to compete against NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 650, allowing AMD to challenge its rival at this pricing point.
"Taking full advantage of the DirectX 11_1 feature set and offering excellent performance with both AA and AF enabled, the HD7790 should give the entry level graphics card segment a refreshing shakeup."

Gainward GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost GS Dual
|
|
Interestingly, however, the GTX 650 Ti Boost and HD 7850 share a very similar price-to-performance ratio. The GTX 650 Ti Boost is 6% cheaper and just 2% slower on average, which does make it a better value product. Having said that your decision will have to hinge on the games you want to play or brand-exclusive features.
