The VTX3D HD 7870 X-Edition (GCN 1.0) model joined the AMD lineup of graphics accelerators on 05.03.2012. Thanks to modern manufacturing technology, engineers managed to place 2.8 billion transistorsistors transistors on a 212 mm² die. The model's computational arsenal includes 1280 universal processors. Also available are 0 specialized cores for ray rendering and 0 cores for accelerating artificial intelligence. The memory subsystem features GDDR5 modules with a total capacity of 2 GB. The bus width is 256 bit bits, and the peak data exchange rate is 153.60 GB/s. In standard mode, the core operates at 1000 MHz, but auto-overclocking technology allows it to reach 0 MHz under load. The TDP level for this model is 175 W, so for a build, it\'s advisable to choose quality cooling and a power supply unit of at least 450 W.
