XFX Also Outs Double Dissipation Radeon HD 7750 Graphics Cards

Besides the Radeon HD 7770 SuperOverclocked Edition that have we presented earlier today, XFX’ also introduced four graphics cards based on AMD’s slower Radeon HD 7750 design, some of them featuring the company’s now famous Double Dissipation custom cooler.

The Radeon HD 7750 has been launched by AMD earlier today and is meant to come as a replacement for the company’s previous Juniper GPUs utilized in the HD 5700 and HD 6700 video cards.

Much like Juniper, the HD 7750 also targets the mainstream gaming crowd, but this time is based on an entirely new architecture which was dubbed Graphics Core Next (GCN).

If this name sounds familiar to you is because the architecture was actually introduced by AMD about two months back, at the same time with the high-performance Radeon HD 7970.

Despite being based on the same architecture as the HD 7900 series cards, the HD 7750 features a much smaller core that is dubbed Cape Verde Pro.

Compared to the Cape Verde XT GPU found in the HD 7770, this core comes with two of its Compute Units disabled to offer 512 stream processors and 32 texture units.

These are packed together with 16 ROP units, one geometry engine/rasterizer and 512KB of L2 cache, as well as with a 128-bit wide memory bus connected to 1GB of GDDR5 video buffer.

AMD’s reference HD 7750 design has the GPU core running at 800MHz, while the memory is working at 1,125MHz (4.5GHz data rate). These are also the frequencies used by XFX for two of the HD 7570 graphics cards it has announced today.

Sadly, the operating frequencies of the two other Cape Verde Pro video cards introduced by XFX are not yet known, but since they are Black Edition parts these will definitely come factory overclocked.

Pricing is also unknown, but AMD’s MSRP for the Radeon HD 7750 is set at $109 US, which translates into about 83 EUR.
