Having covered MSI's rather unimpressively priced GeForce GTX 550 Ti video card, we now get to write of a somewhat more powerful adapter.

Sapphire is the company saying its piece this time. It has launched the Radeon HD 7950 Flex Edition.

Featuring a dual-slot, dual-fan cooler, it operates at slightly higher clock frequencies than the original.

Where the base performance is of 800 MHz for the GPU and 1,250 MHz for the 3 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, Sapphire's iteration sticks to the latter speed, but drives the GPU at 860 MHz.

The only other noteworthy asset is the Sapphire overclocking tool, TriXX, which displays temperatures and lets owners tune voltage and clocks.

Sales should start soon. The UK price is said to be of £328.96. That's $510 / 411.25 Euro, based on exchange rates.
