Graphics Card Feature Comparison

Apart from the rear faceplate that consists of a DVI-I, DB15 VGA and mini-DIN port (for video output or VIVO depending on the graphics card model), all other aspects among the seven RADEON X700 PRO graphics cards were found to have some variances. To easily differentiate between each of them, we drafted the below comparison tables, which we believe would come in handy to understand the outcome of the tests and our final evaluation.
