By navigating between the low-end and mainstream segments we will find ourselves with another refreshed item of the R7 AMD series which is based on the old Pitcairn GPU architecture found with the Radeon HD 7800 cards. This GPU was also renamed with the R7 270 card as Curacao Pro and now it is baptized as Trinidad Pro; regarding the technical specifications, Trinidad Pro comes with 1024 shader cores, 64 TMUs but also 32 ROPs and its stock AMD OEM frequencies are 975MHz for the GPU and 1400MHz for the memory. Since HIS has released their offering as an OC component, the new clock for the GPU is 1000Mhz, while the memory has been left at the same value of 1.4GHz.
