For now then, and possibly for the next year or so, this is all the graphics card most of us are going to need. AMD's loss is our, and Sapphire's, gain.

The Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 OC 2GB is one of the best in its class today. Pre-overclocked, it is 5 to 8% faster than the reference Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition as well as reference-design products from other brands. The original Dual-X cooler endows it...

Faster, cooler and for only another £13 on top of the price of the vanilla AMD Radeon HD 7870 - why wouldn't you go for the new Sapphire HD 7870 OC Edition? The mid-range Southern Islands/7-series/Graphics Core Next (GCN) cards from AMD have...

The first thing that hit me when I opened the box was the size of the 7850. It is very small at only 210mm of length considering that it is supposed to be a gaming card. When put to a comparison, it is in between the size of a 6770 and a 6870. This...

Sapphire are readying their 7870 cards and first out of the gate is their custom design OverClock Edition. We have one on our test bench today and here is a gallery which shows what Sapphire are...

Le personalizzazioni apportate da Sapphire garantiscono un buon miglioramento nelle prestazioni, ma soprattutto una sostanziale riduzione del rumore prodotto dalle schede della serie HD 7000.Con il passaggio alle GPU a 28nm abbiamo assistito ad un...
