AMD Outs New AMD Radeon HD 7950, Maingear Has It In Them.
AMD is really leading the pack this year with the release of its second 28nm based GPU. The Radeon HD 7950 offers gamers on a budget most of the processing power of its big brother, the Radeon HD 7970 ($550) but at a slightly more affordable price point of $450. The new GPU powerhouse has an 800MHz clock speed, 3GB of GDDR5 RAM, runs on the latest DirectX 11 standard and of course uses the new 28nm manufacturing process. With AMD Eyefinity technology up to six displays can be run off this card. Thanks to AMD App Acceleration, this card can perform faster video encoding, decoding, and transcoding. Of course this card also excels in its ability to playback HD content, whether its from a Blu-ray DVD or an MKV file. Unlike the 7970, this card only draws 200 watts of power as apposed to 250 watts!
The new card is available right now in Maingear’s Shift and F131 line of desktops. If used in conjunction with Maingear’s Epic 180 liquid cooling and Epic Audio Engine, users will get the maximum possible performance out of their high performance gaming computer.

Awesome, I am a battlefield 3 player and my old Radeon isn’t the best. I may just have to give this one a try. I have been reading on forums that AMD video cards have been performing a bit better than NVidia cards for this game specifically.
It just so happens to be the truth, at least in terms of the price/performance ratio. AMD is the way to go if you are a gamer. If you cannot afford this card I highly recommend the AMD Radeon 6950 which is a bit over a year old but still performs incredibly well!
Agree’d!
