XFX releases the next product in their groundbreaking 7000 series line-up – the HD 7950
The gaming industry leader releases the next generation in performance graphics cards.

JANUARY 31, 2012 – XFX out performs the competition with the release of their AMD Radeon HD 7950s – the second in XFX’s all new Radeon HD 7000 Series line-up. Available in four tantalising versions for you to choose from- Core Edition, the multi-award winning Double Dissipation, Black Edition Single Fan and Black Edition Double Dissipation – All featuring XFX’s Ghost Thermal Solution.

Ghost Thermal technology is the optimal thermal design that allows air to pass through the heatsink directly to the PCB and core components. This exclusive design allows fan speeds to be kept lower, while allowing the heat to dissipate evenly through the card without excess noise. XFX’s exclusive Ghost Thermal design is complimented by its highly efficient HydroCell thermal solution which is a vapor chamber based on the same principles as heat-pipe technology, which uses a recirculation process and wick system for vaporization. All of this combined with XFX’s award-winning Double Dissipation dual-fan design makes it one of the coolest and quietest cards on the market while simultaneously increasing overall graphics card performance and lifespan.

The 7000 series introduces AMD’s revolutionary 28nm Architecture which utilises the smallest transistors used in a GPU, ever. The original redesign and improvement of the core architecture adapts not only to today’s gaming needs, but also overall computing performance. This massive leap raises the bar beyond today’s graphics performance with redefined features for the ultimate immersive experience. Utilizing AMD’s EyeFinity technology, the world’s first 28nm GPU chip provides improved texture and dynamic power management for uncompromised efficiency and performance across up to six displays.

The 28nm GCN Architecture enables a dramatic increase in processing power for better performance, while using less power and better transistor efficiency than previous generation technology. In addition, AMD and XFX bring gamers a plethora of new breakthrough technologies including the all new PCI Express Gen 3 Bus Architecture with up to 32 GB/s bandwidth, 384-bit Memory Bus and also up to 3 GB of memory in a single video card.
