Just as it’s the case with the HD 7950, the HD 7850 will also be available in two different versions, one featuring just 1GB of video buffer compared to the 2GB used for its older brother.įinally, the last graphics cards in AMD’s HD 7000 lineup to be based on the GCN architecture are found in the HD 7700 series. It’s interesting to note that the highest performing of these, the Radeon HD 7890 is based on the LE version of the Tahiti graphics core, the same one used for the HD 7900-series, and now on the Pitcairn GPU of the remaining HD 7800 solutions. Right below the high-performance HD 7970 and HD 7950 will come the HD 7800 product line which will be comprised out of four graphics cards.

We are not going to get into too many details as far as these GPUs are concerned as we already covered them in previous reports, but it’s worth mentioning that March 2012 will mark the introduction of a special HD 7950 that comes with “just” 1.5GB of GDDR5 VRAM and which will retail for 399$ (308 EUR).

The docs were provided by the Lenzfire Website and cover all the graphics cards based on the GCN architecture that AMD plans to unveil in the first half of 2012.Īs many of you surely know, the first solution from the HD 7900 series to arrive will be the HD 7970 and HD 7950, which will both become available on January 9. While the result wasn’t enough to surpass a stock HD 7870 2GB in BF3, we still saw a healthy 18 per cent increase in minimum frame rate.Yesterday, we brought you some basic info regarding the Radeon HD 7000-series graphics cards that AMD plans to launch in the first quarter of 2012, and today we entered into the possession of some new documents detailing the specs of these upcoming GPUs. We also increased the memory frequency to 1,350MHz (5.4GHz effective), and all with only a 12 per cent increase in core voltage.

Using AMD’s driver overclocking software Overdrive, we were able to push the core frequency to an outrageous 1,050MHz, a 22 per cent increase over stock. What we did find was that, at least in a HD 7870 2GB PCB, the HD 7850 2GB is a monster of an overclocker. This was repeated at 2,560 x 1,600 with 4x AA, where the HD 7850 2GB’s minimum frame rate of 46fps was over 30 per cent higher than the GTX 560 Ti 1GB.Īs we’ve only had the opportunity to test the HD 7850 2GB’s GPU and not a retail card, we’ve forgone the inclusion of power or thermal figures. The HD 7850 2GB’s minimum frame rate of 64fps at 1,920 x 1,080 with 4x AA is around seven per cent quicker than the HD 6950 2GB, but bests both the GTX 570 1.3GB and GTX 560 Ti 1GB by larger margins.

In Dirt 3 we again see the HD 7850 2GB just pip the HD 6950 2GB thanks to a minimum frame rate of 68fps at 1,920 x 1,080 with 4xAA, with the GTX 560 Ti 1GB languishing behind with a minimum frame rate of 63fps in the same test.įinally in Skyrim, AMD really seems to have delivered a coup, with outstanding performance in the latest patch. At the higher resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 with 4x AA though, the GTX 560 Ti 1GB runs out of VRAM, an issue the HD 7850 2GB doesn’t suffer from with a minimum frame rate of 20fps. In Battlefield 3 the HD 7850 2GB again surpassed the out-going HD 6950 2GB with a minimum frame rate of 34fps at 1,920 x 1,080 with 4x AA, although this was just behind Nvidia’s GTX 560 Ti 1GB which managed a minimum frame rate of 35fps in the same test.

At 2,560 x 1,600 though the HD 7850 2GB proved slightly slower than the outgoing HD 6950 2GB, albeit by a single fps. In ARMA 2 at 1,920 x 1,080 with 4xAA a healthy minimum frame rate of 44fps sees the 7850 2GB surpass the GTX 570 1.3GB and thoroughly batter its price competitor, the GTX 560 Ti 1GB which only manages a minimum frame rate of 36fps in the same test. Performance AnalysisJust as the HD 7870 2GB performed similarly or slightly faster than the HD 6970 2GB, the HD 7850 2GB matches or slightly improves upon the performance of the HD 6950 2GB.
