AMD Radeon HD 7970 Overclocked to 1.70 GHz Core, 8.00 GHz Memory, Benchmarked
So you thought the 1.26 GHz core - 6.30 GHz memory feat was quite something, considering that Sapphire already has a card in the works that does 1.33 GHz core 5.73 GHz memory out of the box? Wait till you see the numbers an overclocker for the MyDrivers community achieved. With the right voltage assistance, coupled with the right kind of cooling (liquid nitrogen), the overclocker achieved a Radeon HD 7970 overclocked speed as high as 1700 MHz core, and 2000 MHz (actual) or 8.00 GHz effective GDDR5 memory speed, churning out memory bandwidth of exactly 384 GB/s. The best part is that this wasn't a hit-and-run feat, the setup was able to run 3DMark 11 and 3DMark Vantage. The scores are pictured below. Details of the volt-mod can be found at the source.

Those 3DMark scores are rediculous.
Anyways pretty dame cool

It's a chance. You have every bit a chance of having a bad experience with an nVidia product as with an AMD product. You just got unlucky :P
Anyways, now I see that 1.3GHz on the water cooled Sapphire card is actually very less.
I'm expecting those cards to overclock to 1.5GHz core and 7Ghz(lets hope) memory!!!
WHEN ARE THEY LAUNCHING ALREADY??
I like to see if there is any benefit of pci-e 3.0 at those speeds,
I know that on stock speeds 3.0 is useles
Seriously, these cards are just begging for water cooling and 1.5GHZ.
Seriously, 1.7Ghz core clock & 8Ghz memory, that's nearly 400GB/s 0_0
At that bandwidth, Ima need me some 6 monitor eyefinity setup ^_^
and i ran my AMDs without fans, crossed 110C. still as good as new.
i dont see how you had bad customer experience.
