AMD Radeon HD 7750 Reviews
AMD Radeon HD 7750
Make no mistake: The AMD Radeon HD 7750 is not a fast graphics card. It will not play the latest games at a smooth frame rate at full 1080p resolution with all the details turned up. You'll have to reduce the resolution and dial down the features in hot new 3D games to achieve good performance. Still, it's a nice improvement over integrated graphics, and you can it add it to almost any PC. With the introduction of Intel's Ivy Bridge processors, new computers really don't need entry-level, $50-to-$70 graphics cards anymore. But what if you have an older system with less-capable integrated graphics? Though the Radeon HD 7750 isn't a barn-burner, it is a good step up from integrated graphics, and it does offer some advantages. At around $109 (as of April 23, 2012), it's inexpensive. The card is physically short and doesn't require any external power, so you can plug it into just about any desktop system. All you need is an empty PCIe slot--no need to check how powerful your power supply is or anything. The Radeon HD 7750 is the cheap, low-end card in AMD's new Graphics Core Next lineup, which debuted with the impressive Radeon HD 7970. Essentially, this card has all the technology you can find in that one--only much, much slower.

Take the Radeon HD 7770, remove a few processing units, lower the clock on the graphics chip and you have the AMD Radeon HD 7750. With its gigabyte of memory, this entry level model is positioned directly opposite the Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti. This is an entry level card and therefore isn’t very long (under 17 cm). The cooling system that equips the model sent to the press is unlikely to be used on the versions released by AMD’s various partners and so much the better! The fan is particularly annoying. Whether in idle or in games the noise that comes from it is particularly strident. The graphics chip however hardly heats at all and remains at around 30°C at idle and 68°C during gaming. Some partners are even likely to be offering modles without fans. At idle it’s no surprise to see that the HD 7750 is in line with the rest of the Radeon HD 7000 range: our machine only consumes 85 Watts in idle and drops to 75 Watts in ZeroCore Power mode, with the screen on standby. More details on ZeroCore Power technology can be found in our Radeon HD 7970 test. In gaming, we were a little disappointed as consumption reached 245 Watts. This is only slightly down on the Radeon HD 7770 (256 Watts), which does nevertheless perform a good deal faster, as we’ll see below.

Low-price video cards are generally more attractive in theory than in practice. It's easy to fall for the idea of an affordable add-in that lets you power through all the latest games, but the products hardware companies usually deliver seldom work as well as you might dream. Such is the case with the AMD Radeon HD 7750, which is priced at a wallet-friendly $109 (list) but not the kind of performer you'll want to email home about. It has trouble maintaining steady footing against competition from last-generation cards from both Nvidia and AMD, which cost only slightly more, and doesn't offer a rich enough advanced feature set to compensate. Most users will be able to do better. The 7750 is the latest in AMD's Southern Islands line (aka the 7000 series), and the baby brother to the AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition in the 7700 series (code-named \"Cape Verde”). Like that card, and the higher-end new models that have preceded them (the Radeon HD 7970 and Radeon HD 7950), it is based on the new 28nm Graphics Core Next architecture. This design uses a revised instruction set, which gives each compute unit the ability to simultaneously execute instructions from multiple kernels and process more instructions per clock cycle per square millimeter of GPU space.

As we've mentioned, the Cape Verde GPU powering the Radeon HD 7700 series cards is based on the Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture and has the same feature set as its higher-end counterpart found on the Radeon HD 7900 series. Like Tahiti, Cape Verde is comprised of roughly 1.5 billion transistors and is manufactured using TSMC's advanced 28nm process node. The Cape Verde GPU, however, is outfitted with a maximum of 640 stream processors (to Tahiti's 2,048) arranged in 10 compute units with 64 stream processors each. Cape Verde also sports 512KB of L2 R/W cache, 16 ROPs, 40 texture units, and a 128-bit GDDR5 memory interface. According to AMD, the die size of the chip is a relatively small 123 square millimeters. Although Cape Verde is pared down to target more mainstream market segments, it doesn't skimp on any features. With fewer stream processors, ROPs, and texture units, and a narrower memory interface, performance will be lower than Tahiti, but its features remain unchanged as you can see in the feature comparison above. The card you see here is the Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition. The Radeon HD 7770 is outfitted with a Cape Verde GPU with all of its functional units intact and enabled.
AMD Radeon HD 7770 & Radeon HD 7750 Review
The Radeon HD 7770 measures 21cm (8.2in) long, a typical length for a modern mid-range graphics card. For reference, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti also measures 21cm long, as did the HD 6850. The GPU core runs at 1GHz, which is the highest frequency any Radeon card has been clocked at. The HD 7700 is clocked 18% higher than the HD 6770, while its GDDR5 memory is slightly faster at 1250MHz (5.0GHz DDR). Still, pairing that frequency with a minuscule 128-bit memory bus gives the HD 7770 72GB/s of theoretical bandwidth, which is actually slightly less than the HD 6770. The HD 7770 still only comes loaded with a 1GB frame buffer -- the same as previous-gen mid-range cards. We don't doubt that board partners will release 2GB versions, but because HD 7770 isn't designed for extreme resolutions, 2GB models aren't likely to provide a performance boost. The HD 7770's core configuration also differs from the older HD 6770's. The new card carries 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs. In comparison, that's actually 20% less SPUs than the HD 6770, while the TAUs and ROPs remain the same. Cooling the "Cape Verde XT" GPU is a large circular aluminum heatsink paired with a 75mm fan that generates very little noise during standard operation and under stress.
AMD Radeon HD 7750 review
If AMD's HD 7970 debut Southern Islands card arrived in a fancy tux heralding a bunch of world firsts (first PCIe 3.0 card, first DirectX 11.1-compatible), this HD 7750 turns up to little fanfare in a Burton polo shirt and trainers. The new Graphics Core Next's architecture has already been shown off by the HD 7970 and those 4.3 billion transistors pack quite a punch, as it turns out, trouncing the very best of last generations' GPUs by around 20-30% at mega-high res. The HD 7970 is also excruciatingly pricey though. At £440 its staggering performance and overclocking capability are out of reach to most gamers. The HD 7750 should arrive hitting the right side of £80, making it an altogether friendlier proposal, and these new-gen AMD cards boast some excellent power efficiency by shutting off all but one core when your system enters power save mode. But what's this HD 7750 missing out on to hit that price point? Does it still make high-res screens sing? We put the HD 7750 through its paces in the super-taxing Heaven 2.5 benchmark at a gigantic 2560 x 1600 and stressed every nanometre of its circuitry in the most demanding DX11 games at 1920 x 1080.
