Radeon HD 7730

[Dirk Broer]

There's a new Radeon, but -unlike the previous one, the HD 7790- I'm not sure whether I can say that I can fully recommend it.

For gaming purposes it promises twice the performance of a HD 6670, but I'm afraid that that is comparing the DDR3 HD 6670 against the DDR5 HD 7730,
and then focusing on the higher memory bandwidth, memory speed and GPU core speed. It namely has less shaders and a lower GFlop than the HD 6670,
and most likely will not go into virtual CrossfireX/AMD Double Vision with a Llano, Trinty, Richland or Kaveri APU. The latter (Double Vision/Virtual CrossfireX)
is crunching-wise of less interest -BOINC will take whatever coprocessor that is supported-, but might be a point to consider for gamers on the FM1 and FM2 platforms.

That is an oddball one... I never saw that model number but looking it up I found it on Toms Hardware website - http://www.tomshardware.com/news/MSI-Radeon-HD-7730-AMD,22673.html

I wouldn't recommend it for crunching or gaming either, probably good if you just use your computer to browse the internet, read your emails and play the occasional Angry birds. :icon_lol:

The good news is that I found out that the 77xx series seems to be able to work together with Trinity APUs (http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=50030&d=1360681948), so for Trinity there seems a much broader choice than for Llano (that was just HDs 6450, 6570 and 6670).
A combination of a Trinity or Richland APU with a HD 7730 might perform quite well for tasks beyond the mere browse the internet, read your emails and play the occasional Angry birds:icon_twisted:
And the combination of a HD 7790 with a A10 Richland seems the way to go for me for my next build:qgreenjumpers:
