AMD is looking to bolster its already impressive sub-£200 range with a half-and-half card. Created using the best of both the first and second tiers of its latest Southern Islands range, the HD 7870 XT is using the top-end Tahiti GPU, albeit a cut-down...

Today we are taking our second look at a HD7870 Tahiti LE card, this time from Sapphire. Our previous experiences with the HD7870 Tahiti LE have been memorable but today we wanted to show something different. We push the Sapphire card to the limit...

We have said it before and it is worth saying again here... Let's get one thing out of the way before we look at the card... its name. We absolutely get that this card performs nearer to the 7800 series than the 7900 series and that gives a reason...

7870 XT Review – Not long ago, we sought out to find the best video card for around $200-250. We compared the GeForce 660 to the Radeon 7870 . Nvidia's original target for the 660 was the Radeon 7850, but due to price cuts, this was the comparison that...

La GPU "Tahiti LE" è considerata da molti come una versione castrata delle Tahiti PRO ed XT ma, di fatto, risulta una delle GPU più competitive di AMD, così da colmare il distacco prestazionale che è presente tra la Radeon HD 7870 e la Radeon HD 7950 ed...

In questo inizio 2013 non è stata introdotta alcuna novità a livello architetturale per ciò che riguarda il mercato delle schede video ma stiamo assistendo ad una ulteriore segmentazione dell'attuale offerta. I due principali competitor, AMD e Nvidia,...

Nonostante il nome la Sapphire HD 7870 XT è una scheda di fascia superiore. E' sempre più veloce della HD 7870 GHz Edition ed ha le potenzialità per mettere in difficoltà la Radeon HD 7950 (non la BE) con il vantaggio di costare una 50ina di Euro in meno...

könnte man fast jenes unseres Artikels der VTX3D HD 7870 Black übernehmen.Die Stärken der Sapphire HD 7870 XT with Boost liegen ganz klar bei der 3D-Performance. Hier nähert man sich einer regulären HD-7950-Grafikkarte deutlich an und stellt deren...

International Review By HardTecs4U on

Acquistare la Sapphire HD 7870 XT with Boost o una HD 7950 è semplicemente una questione di prezzo . Le prestazioni non sono troppo differenti, mentre la forbice del prezzo è abbastanza elevata. Se il prezzo di listino della 7870 XT di Sapphire è 219...
