Updates for May
AMD Radeon HD 7700 (Cape Verde
Let's start with a more affordable line of Radeon HD 7700.
GPU Cape Verde provides the graphics card AMD Radeon HD 7750 and 7770. Radeon HD 7770 for $ 160 uses 640 shaders, 40 texture units and 16 units of full-color ROP. Its frequency is 1 GHz and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1125 MHz on a common bus 128 bits. TDP of the card is 80 watts and the card requires a six-auxiliary power connector. Productivity is difficult to classify. In some cases, HD 7770 faster than the Radeon HD 6850 for $ 150. And sometimes it's slower than the Radeon HD 6770 for $ 110. GCN architecture provides better performance in games that support DirectX 11, which is worse impact on older games. In any case, Radeon HD 7770 is worth twice the price of its predecessor, which still is on sale, and we do not recommend this card. But if you're looking for a model that requires only one additional power connector, this option will do.
Radeon HD 7750 for $ 110 - a stripped-down version of the HD 7770. It is armed with 512 shaders and 32 texture units, but it is also 128-bit bus and 16 blocks ROP. The frequency of the processor in this model is smaller and is 800 MHz, but the frequency of 1 GB of GDDR5 memory has not changed and remained at 1125 GHz. Again, with respect to the performance of Radeon HD 6770 is variable. But without a doubt, the reference is the fastest video card that does not require additional power. PCIe x16 slot is sufficient for maximum power map 55 watts. Radeon HD 7750 deserves an honorable mention because it provides a good gaming performance in low-power environments, from the HTPC to the entry-level desktop systems with weak power supplies. Details of these models can be found in the review: "AMD Radeon HD 7770 and HD 7750: cheap Graphics card on the architecture of Core Next" .
Pitcairn and Radeon HD 7800
Radeon HD 7850 and 7870 work on the GPU Pitcairn, but the configuration of these cards are different. Radeon HD 7870, for which AMD asking for $ 350, uses the 1280 shaders, 80 texture units, 32 full-color blocks ROP. As a model of Radeon HD 7770, the core of this card is clocked at 1 GHz. It uses 2 GB of memory at 1200 MHz and 256-bit bus. Card requires two six-auxiliary power connector to meet the TDP 175 Tues
We are pleased to announce that this model is faster than AMD Radeon HD 6970 with up to 250 watts, and even sometimes reaches heights of GeForce GTX 580 and Radeon HD 7950. Given the stated price in the future, this card could get a recommendation from us. But since it is actually on sale yet, we can not confirm the price. We hope that next week we still see them on store shelves (along with the Radeon HD 7850).
The Radeon HD 7850 AMD has set a price of $ 250. It uses a 1024 GPU shaders, 64 texture units, and the nucleus at a frequency of 860 MHz. Memory configuration has remained the same as the older model. Despite the fact that this card competes with the Radeon HD 6970 and GeForce GTX 570, for its relatively low thermal pack 130 watts only one auxiliary power connector. This is another novelty, which may soon get our recommendation. For more information on these cards can be obtained in the survey "AMD Radeon HD 7870 and Radeon HD 7850: review and test graphics cards based on GPU Pitcairn" .
More news
Some models appear, some disappear. The existence of the Radeon HD 6970 and 6950 based on the Cayman comes to an end, and they seem to make room for new models of the Radeon HD 7800. The Radeon 6870, 6850 and 6790 on the GPU Barts, too, was hard to find. They are no longer produced, and soon they all disappear from store shelves.
nVidia does not apply until the release of low-end models in the new architecture, while stocks GeForce GT 440 GDDR5 seems exhausted. A pity, because now it is the most viable option than ever before. AMD Radeon HD 5670 is also missing from the shelves and this model now replaces the HD 6670 DDR3 for $ 70.
Some notes on our recommendations
A few notes necessary for the understanding of the article:
This list is for gamers who want to get the most from their investments. If you're not a gamer, the graphics on this list are likely to be more expensive than what you really need. At the end of this article, we have added an indicative list of matching the performance of integrated and discrete graphics card;
The only criterion for getting some cards in our list of recommendations is the price-performance ratio. We are aware that the option of using two Radeon cards in CrossFire or two GeForce cards in SLI mode requires support from your motherboard. In the computer should be enough space to install two graphics cards. In addition, this option may require a more powerful power supply than the version with the one card that is comparable in performance. Requirements for heat dissipation inside the device, respectively, as they grow up. It is necessary to consider these factors when you are tempted to choose this solution. In most cases, we recommend that if you opt for the configuration of the two maps, we also present an alternative based on a single card within the same budget;
Prices and availability of video cards for sale are changing every day. We can not base our review on the constantly changing prices, but we can bring some good cards that you probably will not refuse to get out of our price range specified.
