MSI Also Builds Twin Frozr III Radeon HD 7950 Cards

AMD Radeon HD 7950 Can't Become HD 7970, Reference Design Suggests

Looks like people who were hoping for a cheaper, albeit more roundabout, way of getting an AMD Radeon HD 7970 will be disappointed. Until today, it was believed that the Radeon HD 7970 and Radeon HD 7950 graphics cards would share a similar PCB design. In other words, since the GPU was basically the same, many we...

Humongous Yeston Radeon HD 7970 Takes Up Four Expansion Slots

You'd think that Gigabyte's triple-fan AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics card qualifies as a big and bad beast, but that's nothing compared to what Yeston came up with. For some reason or other, Yeston decided that a dual-slot cooler was not big enough, so it added a quad-slot one. Yes, you read it right:...

Gigabyte Officially Intros Triple-Fan AMD Radeon HD 7970

Another HD 7970 Card Appears, from PowerColor

Like several others of AMD's partners, PowerColor has announced its own Radeon HD 7970 graphics adapter. Alas, anyone interested in buying it will have to wait for a while.
