Bjorn3D posted a review on the Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X graphics card



Sapphire has been making AMD cards since back when AMD first adopted the idea of having add in board partners handling the manufacture and selling of AMD GPUs. So now at over 10 years later they are still going strong with a much wider product line than ever as they have recently made the move into motherboards and even mini PC’s or bookshelf PC’s for media center usage. All of that aside, Sapphire has not forgotten its roots and it is still a lead innovator for AMD graphics solutions. Sapphire always has some reference and some more crazy or extreme designs such as the one we have today in, the Vapor-X model.

Vapor-X has to do with the cooler design as the heatsink base which contacts the GPU is a vapor chamber design which quickly removes any heat from the GPU and pushes it out to the fin array for a very efficient cooling design. This of course is a very basic explanation but we will go into that further within the review. Vapor-X designs are also very much known for their out of the box overclocks and overclock capability above and beyond what comes to you when you unpack it. This gives me a feeling of promise as I know I should have some good times tweaking this card up a bit to see what it can really do.
