Released April, 2012
AMD Radeon HD 7970M
- 850 MHz
- 2 GB GDDR5
7.1 Out of 10
by Joel-Hruska (Mar, 2013)The productivity improvements from a dual display are very real, and while 3x monitors are only a boost if you work with multiple full-screen programs simultaneously, the additional cost is smaller if you’re looking to build a dual-monitor workstation to begin with.
