PowerColor : Graphics, Multimedia Cards, Motherboards, Cases, Power Supply

The PowerColor JustSling is certainly an interesting device. As one of the first commercially available systems utilizing WHDI, it does manage impress by pushing all the pixels you need. PowerColor has done an excellent job employing the technology available today and the only thing really holding it back is not for a lack of engineering, design or trying, but simply due to the fact, that WHDI is fairly new and this is all one can tickle out of it at this time. While there are other solutions out there, the JustSling from PowerColor seems to be the only one capable of HDMI 1.4a and HDCP 2.0.

Now we come to the final conclusion of the new PowerColor HD 7970th The performance of the chip, the cooling capacity and the many features certify that it is at the PowerColor HD 7970 and generally is the Radeon HD 7970 is an exceptional graphics card.Due to the good benchmark results and the many features in different areas, we give the PowerColor ATi HD 7970 one-Forum.de Gold Award, It has earned it.

The CrossFire system renders consisting of two Radeon HD 7970 cards at 1920x1080 are 56 percent faster than any other card in 2560x1600 and even 59 percent.
The PowerColor card is now the job actually done a little better: load remains under the retail version of the Radeon HD 7970 three and a half degrees cooler decibels quieter.

With their Radeon HD 7970 PowerColor offer probably the best bundle we have seen on a reference design card so far. We get all the cables and connectors which would be required by a consumer, even those looking for a multi-screen setup. Additionally PowerColor are the only manufacturer to include a free game (from the cards we have seen today).
Even at this early stage CrossFire works well on PowerColors 7970 but even in single card mode it offers performance which is above any of the competition.

On the already very good 3D performance of the HD 7950 its higher clocked by 80 MHz for the PowerColor graphics card. Among the highest resolution it shows shows our benchmarks is only 9 percent behind the HD7970 and faster than GTX580

PowerColor's dual fan cooler the card is a lot quieter than the AMD reference design, and runs cooler too - pretty impressive!

...perhaps quietest out of the three HD7950's we have tested thus far despite the PowerColor card having to deal with more heat.
What more is there to say other than this is a clear example of a Platinum award winning graphics card !

These features provide for near-silent operation in the Windows desktop and under load, the speed increased only minimally: a so quietly and yet so fast graphics card we have ever had in our test lab. Simply exemplary! The price of the graphics card actually only ten euros compared to the reference design should be, it is accessing. The reference is good, this card is better. We give it our recommendation.

At time of launch the Powercolor PCS+ HD 7950, Sapphire HD 7950 OC and XFX R7950 BE will be priced at $469, $479 and $499, respectively. This makes them between $30 and $50 more expensive than the stock models. However, a quick look over at Newegg shows all three currently priced at $499, still these SKUs are quieter, more efficient and possibly overclock higher than the reference models.

PowerColor did a truly nice job with the PCS+ model. The performance level is excellent, and much like the reference model we still have a smile on our face when we look at its low power draw. If you game at 1920x1080/1200 then this is a product we can very much recommend. Good performance, good looks with a nearly inaudible product.
