XFX R7750 Black Edition DD Review - PAGE 1

The AMD Radeon HD 7750 is designed to be a cost effective solution that is capable of playing modern games at medium settings. This follows in the tradition of graphics cards before it such as the AMD HD 6750 and HD 5750, which were also affordable graphics cards capable of playing most games available at the time. However the HD 7750 is built on AMD’s Graphics Core Next architecture, which is more power efficient and richer in features than the previous generation GPUs while still offering the same level of performance.

Since the release of the HD 7750 we have been able to examine multiple models from various companies, but the XFX model we have on hand is slightly different than what we have seen thus far. The reason being the XFX R7750 Black Edition DD comes with a 6-pin power connector, which will increase the power delivery to the core. With more power available to the board there is a good chance this model will have a higher overclocking ceiling than other models, which up to this point has been lacking.

Looking at the specifications we can see XFX has put the additional power to good use. Instead of using the standard 800MHz base clock, this model is clocked at 900MHz. That is actually a higher clock speed than we have been able to achieve in our labs while overclocking similar models without a power connector. In addition, the R7750 BE comes with XFX’s signature Double Dissipation thermal solution, which is more efficient than the reference cooler while being quieter to boot.
