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....

Abstract: In April we took a look at AMD’s latest flagship video card, the Radeon HD 7970, and today we are following up with its little sibling the 7950.In many respects the two cards are identical. Both are 275mm long, and have an HDMI, DVI and two mini-Displa...
Abstract: If you've followed the news (hardware-related news, that is) in the past week, you couldn't possibly have missed the announcement by AMD that they've made a new BIOS available . This new BIOS is specifically designed for Radeon HD 7950 cards, and adds a...

Similar price point to the GTX580, Loud fan above 40%, deafening at 100%, Only one DVI port, It's not a HD7970
The little brother to the HD7970 is here. The HD7950 is a great piece of hardware that almost matches it's big brother for performance and in some cases even beats it when overclocked. Going back a year or so we were amazed at the HD6990 dual GPU 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...
