AMD Radeon HD 7750 Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2012-03-23

The Radeon HD 7750 is an interesting offering from AMD, aimed more at budget conscious people, succeeding to deliver about the same performance as the Radeon HD 5770, this time without the need of extra power. The cooling solution from AMD is single slot, features vapor chamber technology; the solutions implemented by the partners have larger coolers, are more silent, but in most cases these are also dual-slot.

  • With the help of the GPU-Z 0.6.0 utility, we could extract lots of information regarding the video card clocks,memory type, pixel and texture fill rate and so on:

     

    For digging out even more information, we have used the AIDA64 utility:

     

    Here are the CAL capabilities of the Radeon HD 7750:

    Temperature tests:

    To find out the IDLE and maximum temperatures, I have used the Furmark utility, and let it run for about 15 minutes in the Xtreme Burning Mode. To record the temperatures, the GPU-Z utility was used, thanks to its Sensors monitoring tab. The recorded room temperature at the time of testing was 21.9 degrees Celsius:

    Noise measurements

    Before finding out the noise the video card was producing, I have first measured the noise inside the room the tests took place and I found out it was 26.4dBA (with everything turned off).

    The next step was to measure the noise the test system was producing, without the video card installed; the value I have obtained was 32.2dBA. Most of the fans inside the case were turned off, but the CPU (43%) and chipset one (30%).

    At all times, the sound meter was placed 8cm under the video card.

    The GPU fan was controlled by the Catalyst Control Center application:

     

     

    The 3DMark Vantage scores were calculated by summing up the GPU and CPU subscores.

    Here are the Vantage subscores separately:
