Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 7950 vs Radeon HD 7970
IntroThe Radeon HD 7950 makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1250 MHz on this specific card. It features 1792 SPUs as well as 112 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 7970, which has GPU core speed of 925 MHz, and 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1375 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon HD 7970 should be a small bit faster than the Radeon HD 7950 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 7970 will be quite a bit (more or less 32%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 7950. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 7970 is a better choice, but only just. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

6 Responses to “Radeon HD 7950 vs Radeon HD 7970”I thought that the HD 7950 had 3GB of memory...
it does..... silllyyyyy
There is a 3GB version of the 7950. It's a separate item on the lists displayed on this site.
Go to the top of the page, click the dropdown lists, select the 3GB version. Now that wasn't hard, was it?
Yeah, I didn't saw it the first time... sorry, my bad.
