Graphics card market is growing very well as many new GPUs are on the door and some are leaking through as AMD Radeon HD 7790. AMD HD 7990 is making its own place in the market and AMD decided to refresh their Radeon HD 7000 series with some awesome card in 2013 as well as launching their 8000 series in 2013. The AMD and the Nvidia are the two main competitors in the GPU market so AMD Radeon HD 7790 is seem to be a competitor of Nvidia GTX 650. User will have another option when he will go in the market to buy GTX 650. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 is not a bigger graphics card as its name but it surely make its own impact in the market but honestly, I think It is too late for the launching of AMD Radeon HD 7790 because GTX 650 has made its own place and it would be hard for AMD Radeon HD 7790 to replace it.

The AMD Radeon HD 7790 is not bigger in the size, it length is also not much big so it will easily fit in all the cases. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 has the legacy black and red color scheme. The card is of same 28 nm Manufacturing Process based as other AMD HD 7000 series card are and the difference is clock speed and memory clock speed. The AMD 7000 series broke the bench of sales in the 2012 and they give really tough competition to Nvidia 600 series but the AMD Radeon HD 7790 is launch is much different time scenario. When I hear about AMD Radeon HD 7790, I thought I would be a 22nm card with some great feature but it is not a 22 nm based card. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 has good memory i.e. 1 GB and it is good for this Price range. More details are given in the table below…..
The AMD is not a new architecture based card nor it has any new feature which we use till today. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 is still a great card for the mid-level gaming system. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 has enough memory and with the amazing high frequency and 1000 MHz clock speed, this card done very good in the benchmarks. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 is also smaller in size and it can easily fit in any case. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 also consumes less power so temperature is also low. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 is a perfect option for the new mid-level gamer.
