AMD Radeon HD 7870 And 7850 Review: Pitcairn Gets Benchmarked

By AMD 

There's a big hole in between AMD's $450 Radeon HD 7950 and its $160 Radeon HD 7700. Today, the company introduces Radeon HD 7850 and 7870 to fill that gap, and they push a lot more performance than we expected. But are they really ready for prime time?

Benchmark Results: Metro 2033
