The editors didn't like

  • This video card is somewhat dated and doesn't perform as well as newer cards
  • Pricey
  • 4K video content and screens likely won't be common for a year or more

  • Crossfire scaling may be poor in some current or future games
  • If playing games without vsync

  • 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...
