14 DAY TRIAL // We may have already written about two MSI Radeon HD 7950 graphics cards, but that does not mean that the company has only that particular pair up for grabs.
In fact, the official announcement on the part of Micro-Star International spoke of four boards in total, two of which were covered here.
The other two adapters are the stronger duo and boast the Twin Frozr II cooling technology for good measure.
Their names are R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5 and R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC.
As was the case with the R7950-2PMD3GD5 and R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC, the former sticks to the reference clock speeds, while the latter moves faster.
Unlike them, though, the Twin Frozr cards also have different memory clock speeds.
For the R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5, the GPU operates at 800 MHz and the 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM memory work at 5GHz.
For the other, the GPU's 880 MHz speed is complemented by the memory's 5.2GHz.
Moving on, MSI equipped both video controllers with Military Class III components (all-solid capacitors, Hi-C CAP for GPU and solid state choke).
Through them, the GPU gains more precise voltage, the overclocking ability is heightened and the lifespan is extended.
Furthermore, the twin Frozr III cooling module is no small asset either, capable of generating 20% more airflow and keeping the temperature 10℃ lower (and 13.7dB more silent) than the reference design.
The rest of the feature set is unchanged: one DVI output, an HDMI port, two mini DisplayPort connectors, a memory interface of 384 bits and support for DirectX 11.1, CrossFireX, Eyefinity, etc.
Finally, MSI did not forget about the Afterburner overclocking utility (supports overvoltage, advanced fan speed control and a burn-in stability test).
US and European stores should have the R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5 and R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC up for order soon, if they don't already. The prices will be a bit higher than $450/ 420 Euro.
