PowerColor as known as the leading manufacture of AMD graphic cards computer hardware, show up its Radeon HD 7950 products. Armed with 28nm GCN architecture, PowerColor lined up two models of Radeon HD 7950 graphic cards, the PCS+ and standard editions.
Both editions of PowerColor‘s Radeon HD 7950 support the latest PCI Express 3.0, easily maximizing performance by doubling the bandwidth of previous generation, delivering ground-breaking gaming experience like never before.
The PCS+ Radeon HD 7950 has factory overclocked setting at 880MHz core and 1250MHz memory speed, a bit higher than reference design from AMD. Power up with dual 92mm ultra huge fan and 3 units 8mm large heat pipes design, easily dissipating the heat from pure cooper base which fully covers the GPU, providing 15% lower temp. and 20% quieter noise level. While the reference Radeon HD 7950 graphic cards clocks at 800MHz core and 1250MHz memory speed.
The PowerColor Radeon HD 7950 PCS+ edition, comes with new design of PCB, new dual-fan cooler design for more effective cooling, and increased clock speeds of 880 MHz out of the box. Unfortunately, it’s memory speed aren’t overclocked well and have same speed as reference design.
The Radeon HD 7950 series takes advantage of AMD PowerTune technology, maximizing performance by dynamically increasing GPU engine clock, enabling higher clockspeeds when it needed; also, with the latest AMD Eyefinity 2.0 technology and HD3D technology, gamers can get a lifelike gaming experience through the 16k x 16k maximum display group resolution. Furthermore, with the support of AMD APP Acceleration, the latest Radeon HD 7950 series can offload computing from CPU to GPU, speeding up the daily applications and increasing the efficiency.
The price of standard edition is about same with AMD‘s reference, while the overclocked design of the PowerColor Radeon HD 7950 PCS+ is asking a premium price $15 higher than reference.
