Since we first reviewed the Radeon HD 7970 late last year a lot has changed, namely the arrival of the GeForce GTX 680 and GTX 670 graphics cards which resulted in AMD price cuts and ultimately today’s release. When we tested the GeForce GTX 670 we con...
AMD claimed to have the "world's fastest GPU" during our talk with them about this new graphics card a couple weeks back. While I didn't believe them at the time, I have to say I agree today. Based on performance levels at high resolutions, the Radeon HD ...
Abstract: AMD has had a good run in the discrete graphics market for quite some time. With the Radeon HD 5000 series, the company was able to take a commanding mindshare (if not marketshare) lead from NVIDIA. While that diminished some with the HD 6000 series go...
Bringing things to a close, before writing up this article I spent some time going through our archives to take a look at past GPU reviews. While AMD has routinely retaken the performance crown for a time by beating NVIDIA in releasing next-generation GPU...

Since we reviewed the Radeon HD 7970 late last year a lot has changed. The arrival of the GeForce GTX 680 and GTX 670, and the resulting AMD price cuts were the most relevant moves on this segment until today’s release. When we tested the GeForce GTX ...

So, has AMD gotten the mojo back? Let's boil things down to one of our famous value scatter plots to see. As always, we've sourced prices from Newegg and Amazon, and the performance results are averaged across all of the games we tested. We're relying on...
Final Words & Conclusion I've been an aficionado of the Radeon HD 7970 series ever since its launch, it just is a great performing card. The dynamic however changed a little when NVIDIA released the GTX 670 and 680. Actually while being as fast and h...

The AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition Reference CardAMD set out to release the fastest single-GPU powered graphics card (again) with the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition. Did they succeed? Well, that all depends on your perspective. According to our mix of tests...

AMD's new Radeon HD 7970 retakes the game-performance crown and offers excellent GPU compute performance, but it is significantly more power-hungry than its predecessor....
We're in two minds regarding the HD 7970 3GB GHz Edition. Clearly the higher clock speeds and performance improvements of Catalyst 12.7b has made AMD's high-end far more competitive; it's certainly no longer a case of which Nvidia to buy any more and the...
