AMD has announced that they arrive award winning 28nm GPU with 2 GB DDR5 graphic card named Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition and AMD Radeon HD 7850. The major difference between the two graphic cards is clock speed, HD 7850 runs at 800 MHz rather than the 1GHz of the HD 7870 GHz. However its price is not reasonable and starting price is $249.
Last month we covered the launch of the similarly titled Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition And HD 7750 Graphics Cards. It was AMD’s first graphics card that decorated with a reference engine clock which breaks the one gigahertz barrier.

Robert E. Bellack, CEO, Newegg North America said “AMD has launched its full suite of next-generation graphics cards in very short order, With the launch of the AMD Radeon HD 7800 series, we’ll now be able to offer our customers AMD’s full range of 28nm graphics cards, giving them the edge they need when gaming. We’re proud to work with AMD on getting these cards to market.”
The AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series raises the graphics bar by providing gamers an arsenal of tools like AMD PowerTune, AMD Eyefinity 2.0 and AMD CrossFire technologies and 2GBs of GDDR5 memory that empowers them to enjoy the latest games and applications on the market.

The price is higher than the HD 7770 GHz and HD 7750 and the HD 7870 GHz is coming at $350 and the HD 7850 $250. But you will be waiting for a couple of weeks and AMD says that the cards will be released after CeBIT and GDC on Monday the 19th of March.
