The Radeon HD 7900 series, codenamed Tahiti, was the first product off the Southern Island family of GPUs that AMD launched on December 22, 2011. This marks a new era of GPU architecture from AMD as it ushers in the Graphics Core Next (GCN), which brings a greater computing power to the GPU. Based on a completely new design, the Southern Island's stream processors are organized in AMD's SIMD-based GNC architecture, which is AMD's answer to NVIDIA's Fermi architecture. Tahiti was the first 28nm GPU manufactured by TSMC. It is also the first card that supports PCI-E 3.0 and Direct3D 11.1. The end result was that not only is Tahiti the most powerful GPU on the market today, its computing power has been improved significantly. As always, once the high performance cards appeare on the market, both NVIDIA and AMD will release mainstream derivatives based on the same architecture and technology except a few features or functional unit disabled to make ways for the mainstream and budget products. With Tahiti out of the gate, AMD is ready to show off the Cape Verde, the mainstream cards targeted at $100-200. Often times, companies release the top-of-the-line cards first, followed by midrange cards, followed by the entry-level.
The first thing that I notice and what catches my eye on this card is the simpleness of its cooler shroud. Forget about all of the injection-molded, fancy plastic designs with all sorts of venting and colorful designs with embossed logos. Buy some extruded aluminum channels, cut them up, bore some holes and tap some threads - Voila - an effective and aesthetic cooling shroud. Running down the middle of this aluminum section is a black stripe that has a brushed finish and a white, silk-screened XFX logo resides between the two holes for fans. The black PCB is wide open and easy to see from all angles of the card. Turning the card over to the other side shows the extruded aluminum's profile and more of the matte-black PCB. Along one side of the card is a red, plastic strip that has XFX R7770 written along the side. From this angle you can get a good look at the shape of the cooler inside of it, which appears to be about as long as the PCB itself. From the other side you can see more of the cooler, the shroud supports, and the copper block that interfaces directly with the GPU. Available ports from this card is one Dual-link DVI, one HDMI, and two mini Displayport plugs.
