Powercolor Radeon HD 7970 3GB Video Card Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

Показать описание

It seems like every other day NVIDA and AMD are trading blows like two giants playing shot for shot. It's AMD turn to strike and they've landed a good one with the Radeon HD 7970. It's the undisputed king of the single GPU castle. Well done!

Back in the day, when everything wasn't just a last generation rebranded. Also, Luke brought me here, BACK FROM THE FUTURE(missed it by 17 days)

I have currently been heavily researching individual components for a new pc and out of all the video review channels yours is easily the best I have run across! over the past few weeks I have spent hours watching your unboxings and reviews and can say they have helped me so much! Thank you Linus :)

@oskArtist This particular card will be "open box" once I am done with it (and I've reattched the D...) so the customer will be getting a discount on a basically brand new (never even turned on) card.

Why is this the only graphics card you can buy in 2021

Was actually my first look at this card. You're one of the best guy's I have found on youtube and one of the only ones that I have found that does a review on both the hardware, instead of how great it looks and a little bit of the hardware. Great video!

i bought that card month ago for 75$

also its drivers made it even faster and more overclocking friendly

@4Th3Truthful Yes you're right. Honestly I didn't even stop to think about 1366/2011 because I was focused on the more mainstream 1155 socket.

Over 4 years later! Got faster with each driver since, has DX12 support in Windows 10, 3gb ddr5 still enough for gaming at 1080p and 1440p and The only good choice in Scrapyard Wars
GTX and crippled (made slower) by Nvidia drivers

@Balkan546 >PCIe slot: 75W max
>6-pin connector: 75W max
>8-pin connector: 150W max.

So it has theoretical limit of 300W, in real scenarios it'll be even less on full load.
You can run it just fine on a 500W PSU therefore.

Fun fact, in spite of memory configuration differences, my XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Black Edition 8GB GDDR5 graphics card is effectively about 78 - 80% of the raw performance of this card. Kinda bums me out when you think about it.

Oh well.

I personally don't mind the late unboxing, your videos are100 times better than the rest anyway.

nn

so you touch a customers card and repackage them?

Linus by any chance would you possibly sell me this I have an xps 730x and i love doing air cooled.
amd's reference cards are so perfect for what i spend most of my time tweaking inside of my computer. I really do enjoy the amd radeon series and this card is absolutely perfect for my computer. ive checked everywhere for a cheep 7970 that has the reference cooler.
