In February I reviewed several HD7750 and HD7770 graphics cards and was ultimately left with mixed feelings. I appreciated the commendable power consumption and modest heat output, but I felt that it was a sideways step for AMD. They seemed more focused on announcing that they had released the first graphics card at a ’1 GHZ clock speed’ while failing to highlight that they had stripped out a substantial amount of stream processors.

The reduction from 800 shaders on the HD6770 to 640 on the HD7770 and 512 on the HD7750 caused a substantial performance hit for the new hardware, and the higher clock speeds only helped to counter the reduced processing performance. Today however we have finally an interesting product for review, the passively cooled HD7750 Ultimate Edition from Sapphire.
