Club3D Radeon HD 7950 Graphics Card Makes Its Debut

Club3D, a company specialized in developing graphics card based on AMD’s as well as Nvidia’s GPUs, announced the introduction of a new solution designed around AMD’s recently unveiled Radeon HD 7950.

Club3D graphics card doesn’t seem to differ in any way from AMD’s reference design for the HD 7950, which means that it uses a centrally placed fan to blow fresh air over the heatsink and PCB found underneath.

That being said, the reference cooler developed by AMD is quite capable, judging by the HD 7950 reviews that have popped us so far, as it manages to chill the card without producing too much noise.

Of course the 28nm fabrication process used for the Tahiti Pro GPU also helped in this regard, since it enabled AMD to build a much larger core, without having to increase the TDP over that of previous generation cards.

Made official yesterday, the Radeon HD 7950 uses the Tahiti Pro GPU, which includes a total of 1792 stream processors (vs. 2048 in the HD 7970), 112 texture units, 32 ROP units and the same 384-bit wide bus of its elder brother.

The stock operating clocks of the video card are set at 800MHz for the GPU, while the GDDR5 memory is running at 1.25GHz.

Club3D’s solution follows these specifications to the letter, so those of you feeling the need for some extra performance will have to overclock the card on your own.

The rest of the specs are also identical with those of AMD’s reference HD 7950 design, meaning that it sports the same dual miniDP, HDMI and DVI-D video outputs, as well as 3GB of DDR5 memory.

Club3D hasn’t mentioned anything about the price of its Radeon HD 7950, but the company usually retails its graphics cards for slightly lower prices than its competitors.
