Final Words & Conclusion Not bad huh ? The entire 7000 series show respectable tweak and overclock performance. There's not a card out there that can't do another 10% extra on the GPU baseclock really. If you are luck and know how to do so, a 20% ove...
Outruns similarly priced GTX 500-series Nvidia cards, Lots of overclocking headroom, Support for 4K video and other forward-looking features
Pricey, 4K video content and screens likely won't be common for a year or more
At $349, the Radeon HD 7870 is pricey. But overall, it manages impressive performance, outpacing Nvidia's similarly priced GeForce GTX 570 on most tests, even besting the step-up GTX 580 on a few. It's a safe choice for those who need this level of perfo...
There is a whole lot to like about the HD 7870 2GB. Phenomenally low power consumption for a high-end card, low temperatures, and a reasonable if not colossal in speed over the previous generation's HD 6970 2GB make it very attractive. Needless to say, it...

Abstract: In 2009-2010, AMD launched the entire 4 chip Evergreen series in 6 months. By previous standards this was a quick pace for a new design, especially since AMD had not previously attempted a 4 chip launch in such a manner. Now in 2012 AMD’s Southern Is...
Let me start by providing you some hard facts on the performance we observed from the new Radeon HD 7800 GPUs. Gaming on the Radeon HD 7870 at 2560x1600, it was on average just 12% slower than the HD 7950 and 7% slower than the GeForce GTX 580. Meanwh...
The Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition has performance comparable to the GeForce GTX 570. In our tests, both video cards achieved the same performance level on all the games we ran, except on FarCry 2, where the GeForce GTX 570 beat the Radeon HD 7870 by between...

Good performance. Impressively low power draw. Offers full range of current display technologies.
Competing GPUs offer similar performance for less. Requires two PCIe power connections. Blocks an expansion slot when installed
The Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition is a powerful and feature-rich addition to AMD's line of enthusiast video cards, but its price may be a bit of a problem....
