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.
