Sapphire HD 7950 FleX Edition

Final Thoughts

Pros:

• Allows for Eyefinity without special monitors or expensive adapters.
• Great performance.
• Runs cool for such a powerful card.
• Stays quiet even at full load.
• Overclocked from the factory.
• Competitively priced.

Cons:

• A single card can still struggle in Eyefinity.

The Sapphire 7950 FleX Edition really was impressive. You have the ability to comfortably play any game on a single monitor with settings maxed, and then you can plug up two more monitors and play any game in Eyefinity as well, though probably with some lowered settings. And because the card is a FleX, choosing and setting up those extra monitors will be hassle-free since you don’t have to have a DisplayPort monitor or adapter. Add to that while you are gaming you won’t be annoyed by an obnoxiously loud fan and you won’t be worrying about your card running to hot. You really get everything you could hope for in a graphics card here, and then slapping another in Crossfire makes it nearly twice as good. Considering this FleX edition is very competitively priced at $400, you would have a hard time justifying a different 7950. Because of these strengths, we are awarding the Sapphire 7950 FleX our Gold Award.
