Today AMD release their new HD7950 graphics card, tackling the GTX580 ‘head on' at the same price point. When we were finally in a position to review HD7970 partner hardware, XFX stole the show thanks to a dramatically effective, highly modified ‘Double Dissipation' version of the card with dual fan cooler. Today we are looking at their HD7950 which on paper promises the same heady combination of performance and cooling efficiency.

When XFX started producing AMD hardware it caused quite a stir in the industry, because Sapphire would clearly now have a competitor who also had their head firmly planted in the minds of the demanding, educated, enthusiast user.

We are looking at both Sapphire and XFX solutions today, but have decided to keep them in separate reviews, as each card deserves its own space.

The XFX HD7950 Black Edition Overclocked is the fastest 7950 we received for launch day and much quicker than the reference card listed above …. but more on this later.

Can XFX steal the show again today from Sapphire? read on to find out…

AMD launch their latest graphics card today … the high end HD7950. We have analysed several partner products already this morning and in this particular review we will focus on the custom Sapphire card, which is supplied in an overclocked state with proprietary two fan cooling solution.

While our other reviews today have detailed single card configurations, this review will focus on Crossfire performance. We will also look at three screen gaming, and whether it is worth spending extra money for two cards.

The Sapphire HD7950 Overclock Edition has received a core clock increase of 100mhz, taking the final board speed to 900mhz. Unlike XFX, Sapphire haven't touched the memory speeds however, maintaining the 5Gbps data rate.

This card isn't classed as one of the high grade ‘Toxic' or VaporX' Edition cards, so we are interested to see just how good the cooler is.
