AMD have unveiled their bottom of the range card aimed at lower-end gamers and HTPC users – the HD7750, based on the Graphics Core Next architecture.<\/p>\n

Despite being full-height, the card is shorter in length than mid- or high-range cards, and takes up just a single slot thanks to its low profile cooler. Let\u2019s see if this feature-rich card has the right mixture of gaming, temperature and noise performance to be an attractive option.<\/p>\n

Technology overview<\/h3>\n

The HD7750 from AMD is one of the first of the Cape Verde cards aimed at the lower segment of the gaming market, as well as the HTPC market. It sports the same list of features as the higher-end HD7900 series cards, including being based on Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture, HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.2 ports, and PCIe 3.0 interface support.<\/p>\n

Being a HD7700-series card, the HD7750 ships with all the new technology AMD has to offer, including Eyefinity 2.0. The latest version of Eyefinity supports up to 4k displays over one output port, has intelligent bezel correction, and can split independent video and audio streams to selected monitors and more. For a full look at Eyefinity 2.0, read the Mygaming overview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The HD7750 also features ZeroCore technology. This is a power saving feature that allows the card to draw less than 3w during a long idle state when the computer is on, but not powering a monitor. Also present is intelligent power management for multi-graphics card setups. While working in a 2D environment, only the primary graphics card draws its normal amount of power, the rest are put into a long idle state.

Performance<\/h3>\n

Metro 2033<\/h4>\n

Known as the new Crysis, Metro 2033 is one of the most demanding games on your hardware currently available. We played through a set level three times, and recorded the average frame rate of the level using fraps. These averages were then averaged to get the below result. All graphics settings were maxed, while tessellation was turned off. The resolution was 1920 x 1200.<\/p>\n
