After the brilliant Royal Queen HD7850, we take a look at the Royal King HD7950. Is it as amazing?

Great review, looks an amazing card, however as you said in the video the red PCB is the deal breaker. But otherwise is a great card to look out for. :)

Would like to see how the 7970 performs.
 
As always a fantastic review Tom! Nothing more to point at this card....that red PCB at this days..... :headscratch:Maybe they Could Also start doing green,blue and brown pcb´s for each model, so everyone can be happy with the best color scheme possible on the rig!:p You said everything!! A very well deserved gold award!
 
It would match my socket 775 motherboard :D but it does look like something i may consider in the future, great review!
 
nice revieuw Tom, wot should give 2 of these cards in xfire... Got 2 old 5870 from club 3d, also running at pretty high speeds... I love club3d!
 
I have been reading that the latest drivers have been a significant upgrade, could this have given an altered picture of the match up with the 680?
Both AMD and Nvidea's recent driver updates have shown big improvements in performance.

That does not diminish the results, this thing overclocks like mad.
If this is not just a winner of the silicon lottery, this card is on my shortlist for my next upgrade.

Tom said in the video that he tried earlier drivers to make sure it wasn't just the new drivers giving it higher scores, although they did but not by much.

Most 7950s are capable of hitting 1200 though, but this one does seem like a good option, apart from the red PCB :D
 
Yea both my 7950s clock roughly 1 for 1 too (1160 @ 1.2v) so that's not a big deal although TTL's sample looks like a good clocker but there are still some weird results going on...

This is a reference pcb isn't it? I don't understand how it could produce such powerful results?

Ive said before the ref pcb is more than capable of maxing cores out on air. Most of the mega dandy super dooper overclocking cards are adding things on that are not really needed for 99% of users that will use them on air or water.

This card proves that with a good core on the card the ref design is epic. AMD really did do a cracking job straight out the box on these.
 
Good good, thought I might have missed a change with the re-release of the range with the boost clocks or something similar. The 7950 was epic when it came out and still is :D
 
I Just needed to sign up to this site and thank you for the great review. This review just made me buy one XD

When its time to upgrade your reviews have always helped thanks!

Now on another note... When I get this card I will OC straight away. Whats the max voltage/Temps you can put though these cards? I never before did an overclock on a GPU.
