AMD Radeon HD 7870 And 7850 Review: Pitcairn Gets Benchmarked

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

If you follow the graphics industry, you probably already knew today’s AMD Radeon HD 7800-series launch was happening. The company told us to expect this back in December when it introduced Radeon HD 7970. It reminded us in January when the Radeon HD 7950 debuted, and again in February during the Radeon HD 7770 and 7750 briefings.

Consequently, we’re also not surprised that, as the Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 became public knowledge, supply of the Radeon HD 6970 and 6950 dried up. After all, it’s hard to recommend last generation’s card, still priced competitively, when it’s no longer for sale. The new models replace those older cards with similar suggested prices of $349 for the 7870 and $249 for the 7850.

Another ~~Paper~~ Preview Launch

Unfortunately, although we’re able to talk about the performance of Radeon HD 7870 and 7850, you won’t be able to buy the card until at least March 19^th, AMD tells us. The company says that, because CeBIT and the Game Developers Conference fall so close to the official launch, it’d be difficult to keep information about the cards under wraps. Regardless of the explanation, it sucks to wait another two weeks for street pricing and a better feel for availability.

Cynicism aside, we’re still technology geeks at heart, and we’re desperately curious to know how the 7800-series cards measure up to the Radeon HD 6900s, which earned our affections in the past for their conservative power use, excellent CrossFire scaling, and rich display connectivity compared to Nvidia’s GPUs with two independent pipelines.

This is the third distinct Graphics Core Next-based ASIC from AMD in as many months. Code-named Pitcairn, we finally have a solution in between the flagship Tahiti and the entry-level Cape Verde. The graphics processor is composed of 2.8 billion transistors in a 212 mm² die manufactured on TSMC’s 28 nm lithography node. That’s nearly twice as large as the GPU at the heart of Radeon HD 7770, but around two-thirds of Tahiti, which drives the Radeon HD 7970.

Pitcairn hosts 20 compute units, each with four vector units made up of 16 stream processors and a single texture unit. In an uncut GPU, those numbers multiply out to 1280 total shaders and 80 texture units. AMD shears off four compute units from Pitcairn to create the Radeon HD 7850, resulting in 1024 shaders 64 texture units.

The GPU’s back-end is made up of eight render partitions, each with four full-color ROPs, totaling 32 ROPs. Four 64-bit memory controllers yield an aggregate 256-bit memory bus. AMD doesn’t make any changes to this part of the chip; both the Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 sports identical back-ends.

In general, AMD’s Radeon HD 6900 family features more shaders and texture units, while the 7800s operate at higher clock rates. Remember also that both line-ups also employ different architectures optimized for different things. VLIW4 was the product of much evolution, and hence quite mature. Meanwhile, GCN is much newer. We’ve seen it completely tank in DirectX 9-class applications, and then deliver stellar performance in more modern titles.

All of the cards in the above chart feature 256-bit memory interfaces feeding 32 ROPs, but the 6900 series’ higher memory clock rates facilitate a little more bandwidth.

Interestingly, the Radeon HD 6950 only proffers about 10% fewer shaders than the Radeon HD 6970. In contrast, the Radeon HD 7850 comes armed with a roughly 25% deficit compared to Radeon HD 7870. AMD seems to have decided that it needed to spread its mid-range cards further apart from each other. I’ve often wondered if the Radeon HD 6950 cannibalized Radeon HD 6970 sales because they were so similar (surely it didn’t help that 6950s were getting updated via firmware to look even more like 6970s) That could be what AMD is trying to avoid this time around.

Although it’s tempting to look at raw specifications and draw comparisons, you really can’t, on account of the dissimilar architectures. We can, however, point out that all of AMD’s GCN-based cards put a special emphasis on maintaining exceptional performance at lower maximum power. The Radeon HD 7750 doesn’t even need a dedicated PCIe power connector, and yet its performance is often comparable to the Radeon HD 5770/6770. With maximum TDPs at 175 and 130 W, the Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 sport power ceilings that are 75 and 70 W lower than their predecessors, respectively. The Radeon HD 7870 requires two six-pin PCIe power connectors, and the Radeon HD 7850 only needs one. Lower power means less heat. Less heat translates to more conservative cooling. And that leaves the door open for gaming enthusiasts to enjoy quieter systems that go easier on the power bill. These cards might not even necessitate a power supply upgrade, if your machine is reasonably modern.

A Sizable Gap

We’re curious about the space between AMD’s $250 Radeon HD 7850 and its $160 Radeon HD 7770. Like it or not, the Radeon HD 6800s are gone for good. AMD isn’t taking orders on the 6870, 6850, or 6790. The company won’t comment on future products, but we find it hard to believe it’d abandon the $180-$230 market currently inhabited by the GeForce GTX 560, 560 Ti, and Radeon HD 6870. That leaves two likely possibilities for the future: a cheaper 1 GB version of the Radeon HD 7850, or perhaps a crippled version of the 7850 that might populate a lower position in the hierarchy.

Radeon HD 7870 and 7850

Officially, AMD gives its Radeon HD 7870 the same GHz Edition suffix as the Radeon HD 7770, indicating only that the core breaks the completely arbitrary gigahertz barrier.

As far as appearances go, the Radeon HD 7870 is quite similar to the Radeon HD 6870. It’s 9.5” long with two six-pin auxiliary power inputs. The biggest functional difference between old and new is the loss of a DVI display connector. As with the flagship Radeon HD 7970, AMD says it got rid of the second DVI output to improve exhaust airflow. Two mini-DisplayPort connectors and a single HDMI port remain intact. Of course, the card’s style is a little different, adhering to the tapered end we’ve seen from other 7000-series models.

Keep in mind that the Radeon HD 7870 actually replaces the 6970, though, and not the 6870. The higher-end 6970 is an inch longer, and it requires eight- and six-pin power inputs to feed an additional 75 W.

We like the 7870’s more compact dimensions, but enthusiasts will be disappointed to learn about two notable omissions: a BIOS selector switch and dual CrossFire connectors. Unlike the Radeon HD 6900s, which scaled up to four cards in a CrossFire array, the Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 can only be used in pairs. Moreover, the lack of a backup firmware makes flashing the BIOS riskier.

The reference Radeon HD 7850 seems identical to the 7870 with one exception: a single six-pin power input (rather than two), reflecting the 7850’s lower 130 W typical board power rating.

But the reference card isn’t necessarily representative of what you’ll see at retail, and some of the models AMD showed us are actually quite a bit smaller.

Almost all of the partner boards share the same combination of one DVI-D output, a single HDMI connector, and twin mini-DisplayPorts. Based on the pictures AMD provided, the lone exception is XFX’s model with two DVI-D outputs.

Manufacturer: AMD
UK Price (as reviewed): TBC (estimated £200 inc VAT)
US Price (as reviewed): TBC (estimated $249 ex. tax)

Despite the HD 7800 series’ mid-range claims, the HD 7870 2GB is a pricey card thanks to what looks to be a £275 price tag. That still leaves a whopping £150 price gap in AMD’s line-up down to the £130 HD 7770 1GB and it’s into this gap that the HD 7850 2GB fits.

Its 212mm² 2.8 billion transistor Pitcairn Pro 28nm GPU is very similar to that of the HD 7870 2GB, with only clock speeds and CU count differing between the two. This means that Pitcairn Pro boasts both the same dual front-end layout as the high end Tahiti GPUs of the HD 7900 series and the full set of eight render back-end units for a total of 32 ROPs.

Click to enlarge — This is AMD’s stock version of the HD 7850 2GB, but most board partners will be using their own coolers and PCBs

The memory interface is also the same as the HD 7870 2GB, with a quartet of 64-bit dual channel memory controllers making for a 256-bit memory interface connected to 2GB of GDDR5. As both cards sport the same memory frequency of 1,200MHz (4.8GHz effective), this means they share a peak memory bandwidth of 153.6GB/sec.

With the same front-end and memory layout as the HD 7870 2GB you’d be forgiven for thinking there’s little between the two GPUs. Sadly, AMD has put the brakes on with the HD 7850 2GB when it comes to both CU count and core frequency. While the HD 7870 2GB sports 20 compute units (1,280 stream processors) running at 1GHz, the HD 7850 2GB packs 16 compute units (1,024 stream processors) running at 860MHz.

Click to enlarge — Pitcairn Pro offers four fewer CUs and a lower core frequency, but is otherwise the same as the HD 7870 2GB’s Pitcairn XT

Just as the HD 7870 2GB offered almost double the resources of the HD 7770 1GB, the HD 7850 2GB offers double the resources of the HD 7750 2GB; twice the stream processors, twice the memory, twice the front-end and twice the ROP count.

And just as with the HD 7870 2GB, the HD 7850 2GB also benefits from all the AMD gubbins we’re coming to expect from 7-series GPUs. That means support for up to six-display Eyefinity from a single card, PCI-E 3.0, two-card CrossFire and the excellent ZeroCore Power Technology.

However, we’re in something of an odd situation for this review, as AMD hasn’t actually furnished us with a stock review sample. Instead we received an HD 7850 2GB GPU fitted into a stock HD 7870 2GB PCB, albeit with just a single 6-pin PCI-E power connector. Our understanding is that stock cards will be a rarity, with almost every board partner using its own custom PCB and cooling layout. With card availability still two weeks out, this means we’ve been unable to perform any kind of meaningful power or thermal testing on a genuine HD 7850 2GB (our sample returned identical results as the stock HD 7870 2GB).

Click to enlarge — AMD sent us an HD 7850 2GB in an HD 7870 2GB PCB

With so much variety between manufacturers there’s likely to be little uniformity other than the need for a single 6-pin PCI-E power connector. AMD has told us that some boards will measure less than 200mm, which would certainly qualify the HD 7850 2GB as something of a pocket rocket card ideal for mini-ITX systems.

Pricing is also a little uncertain, but around £200 seems to be where most pre-orders are hitting. We’ll publish an update once we get our hands on a genuine HD 7850 2GB and once retail pricing becomes clearer.
