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
  • Competing GPUs offer similar performance for less. Requires two PCIe power connections. Blocks an expansion slot when installed
  • Crossfire scaling may be poor in some current or future games
  • If playing games without vsync
  • Stuttering will likely be noticeable
  • Mounting two cards together on a motherboard without an empty slot in between will lead to overheating and potential crash
  • Price a bit too high
  • Noise levels a tad bit high
  • CCC Overdrive limits too low

  • Plenty of power lets the AMD Radeon HD 7870 compare favorably with the higher-end Radeon HD 7950.As a mid-range card, the AMD Radeon HD 7870 is a strong performer, keeping up with and in a few cases able to match the performance of the high-end Radeon HD...

  • Power Consumption Predictably due to the 28nm process shrink, AMD has brought their power consumption and efficiencies to new heights. Interestingly, the HD 7870 has the same power draw as the HD 7950, which the latter has more compute units and 384b...

  • High performance for price, easy overclock, sufficiently quiet,
  • Not worthy update for HD 6900 owners
  • The AMD HD 7870 is one hell of a card given that encroaches on the sub $400 territory of the HD 7950 and GTX 580 with relatively modest overclocking. It remained cool and fairly quiet throughout our testing compared to the other cards. The best part is...

  • Abstract:  Continuamos con los análisis de tarjetas gráficas, y en esta ocasión le toca el turno a la AMD 7870 . Habiendo pasado ya por las 7900 y las 7700 podemos pensar que la 7870 y su melliza 7850 son la gama media de las GPU dedicadas, aunque en la realidad su ...

  • Excelente rendimiento, Buena capacidad de overclock, Poco consumo, Precio muy ajustado
  • Solo es compatible con CrossFireX de dos gráficas, Ruidosa
  • AMD ha creado una tarjeta gráfica de gama media (más bien media-alta) con un rendimiento increíble, un gran potencial de overclock y a un precio muy comedido Supera a las ya antiguas NVIDIA GTX580 en todos los test, es más barata y consume mucho menos

  • Si una sola es una excelente solución para cualquier jugador de ordenador que se precie, cuando utilizamos 2 en modo CrossFire tenemos una solución el doble de excelente. A lo largo del análisis hemos realizado numerosos benchmars y hemos obtenido muc...

  • Hasta el momento había podido analizar las dos tarjetas gráficas de gama alta de la nueva serie AMD Radeon HD 7000, la HD 7970 y la HD 7950. Ambos modelos nos dejaron muy buenas sensaciones, pero su hermana pequeña, la AMD Radeon HD 7870 que hemos anal...

  • Hace unas semanas recibimos un correo dirigido a todos los sitios web con claras instrucciones acerca de un cambio de actitud por parte de AMD en relación a las filtraciones antes de la fecha de finalización de un NDA. Nos avisaban que a partir de en...

  • Abstract:  Uuden konsolisukupolven myötä myös PC-pelien osalta on nähty tämän syksyn aikana selvä siirtymä suorituskykyvaatimuksissa sekä laskentatehon, että vaaditun muistin osalta. Useat pelit ovat ihmetyttäneet suositusvaatimuksillaan, hurjimpana esimerkkinä ehkä Shadow of Mordorin 6...
