Sapphire has launched two new models of Radeon HD 7950 graphics card equipped with Dual-X cooling solution known from 7970 model.
Both cards feature the same memory capacity of 3 GB of GDDR5 memory. They differ in core clocks with is set to 810 MHz on non-OC version and 950 MHz on OC version.
Here is how Sapphire describes those cards itself:
The SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB features SAPPHIRE’s new dual-extractor technology – Dual-X – a highly efficient multi-heatpipe cooler with dual fans providing quiet and very cool operation during normal operating conditions, and superb cooling performance even under extreme load.
For enthusiasts wishing to maximise performance, a new version of the SAPPHIRE overclocking tool, TriXX supporting this latest generation of technology is available free to download from the SAPPHIRE website. TriXX allows tuning of GPU voltage as well as core and memory clocks, whilst continuously displaying temperature. Manual control of fan speed is supported, as well as user created fan profiles and the ability to save up to four different performance settings.
The SAPPHIRE HD 7950 OC 950 MHz Edition, which is factory overclocked to 950Mhz and features SAPPHIRE’s new dual-extractor technology – Dual-X – a highly efficient multi-heatpipe cooler with dual fans providing quiet and very cool operation during normal operating conditions, and superb cooling performance even under extreme load.
