Photos - The Cards

On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at 4272 x 2848 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Canon 450D - 12 MegaPixel.

ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2

We have the early engineering sample and a more recent version of the card at our disposal, and well ... the sticker is pretty much the difference.

Two GPUs, double memory configuration .. that's a lot of wires and components to mount into a PCB. As you can see, the card is long for sure. I measured it up and it's 27 CM in length. At the front we spot 2x DVI (dual-link thus two high-res monitors are supported) connectors. Obviously you'll receive a HDMI adapter as well which will be able to pass-trough 7.1 Channel lossless sound, too.

When we peek at it from the rear side we can see that length a tad better. It's quite a lot really. However don't get fooled, it's as long as NVIDIA's high-end cards, for example an GeForce GTX 280 is 27 CM in length as well.

Radeon R700 preview

Did you guys already notice something different? That's right ... a black PCB. Traditionally ATI always used a red colored PCB, which quite frankly doesn't fit the high-end products really well. High-end PCs are often pimped up a bit. I really like the black aesthetics here, and I think it's a very sexy look for the card. As you can see in some other photo's (look at top photo) most final versions will have a sticker on top of the cooler though. A bit of a shame really.

The R700 has a metal plate across the back of the card just like the 3870 X2. Quite interestingly, it also has RAM on the back..

PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 SCS3 review
We test and review the PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 SCS3 today. This stock clocked Radeon HD 7850 is cooled passively, meaning it has no fans tool it down. That also means it's rather silent as it does not make any noise. But what about temperatures then you must be wondering ?

Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 2GB OC review
We test and review the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 2GB OC edition, also known under SKU code GV-R7790OC-2GD. We benchmark the product incl FCAT Frametimes. The new graphics card is intended to boost a little more performance into entry-level gaming. The Gigabyte HD7790 OC 2GB clocks in at 1075 MHz on the boost engine, packed with totally silent custom cooling.

MSI Radeon HD 7790 TurboDuo OC review
We test and review the MSI Radeon HD 7790 OC edition, also known under SKU code R7790-1GD5-OC incl FCAT Frametimes. The new graphics card is intended to boost a little more performance into entry-level gaming.

Radeon HD 7990 review
We review the new AMD Radeon HD 7990 including FCAT frametime measurements. The dual GPU product that you guys learned to know under codename Malta finally is released. AMD it doing it in style, two fully equipped Tahiti XT2 GPUs versus good yet silent cooling. In this review we'll look at the product, the architecture, the benchmarks, including frametime based FCAT measurements. Head on over towards our AMD Radeon HD 7990.
