The Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 OC 2GB is one of the best in its class today. Pre-overclocked, it is 5 to 8% faster than the reference Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition as well as reference-design products from other brands. The original Dual-X cooler endows it ...
Abstract: As AMD’s 28nm allocation has improved so has the selection of cards available on the market. We’re still in the first phase of the Radeon HD 7000 series rollout, with AMD’s partners building semi-custom cards based on AMD’s reference PCB, but even wi...

Abstract: “Serious gaming starts here.” With that slogan AMD launched its Radeon HD 7850 and 7870 graphics cards in March. It's actually surprisingly apt, as the HD 7870 can handle pretty much any game in Full HD resolution (1920x1080), albeit not always at the h...
