To end the review today we thought it would be interesting to configure both cards in Crossfire.
We overclocked the HD7850 to from 860mhz to 1ghz core, so it matched the HD7870. Obviously this won't be quite as fast as a native HD7870 Crossfire configuration as the HD7850 has a lower shader count.
The mixed Crossfire performance is extremely impressive, slotting in a little behind the GTX 580 in SLi. Only 500 points behind in 3DMark 11 and 5 frames per second in Unigine Heaven.

Looks like a winner from AMD. UK get shafted on price though, always do,
yeah, thats what im talking about. I was hoping more for £250 and £200 though. if the 7870 is £300 thats not much cheaper than 7950 which is now £350 in some places.
Awesome, the 7850 is on my list, depending on the price. no where has them, when are they released?
Loads of overclocking potential with the 7850. look forward to seeing the sapphire dual fan version when it hits. my only concern is US pricing. if 7870 is over £300 its f*cked. it needs to be £280 and 7850 needs to be £220 or less.
AMD’s pricing is all wrong, that the killer. they are charging way too much for everything lately. and they complain about intel price fixing? the sooner nvidia get theirs cards out the b etter. then they will have to drop the price.
