FINAL RESULT

COMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 and Sapphire Radeon HD 6970 was an interesting review and the reason we decided on this comparison is because we wanted to show the improvement the Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 has delivered over the older Sapphire Radeon HD 6970. The Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 delivered an impressive 23% extra performance over the Sapphire Radeon HD 6970. The Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 was especially impressive with more modern games which demand GPU power rather than CPU Power. The Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 is a more power efficent design with great improvements with Tessellation. Now for the not so good news, the Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 is priced 31% more than the Sapphire Radeon HD 6970."
