Sapphire Readies Radeon HD 7970 Cards with 1335 MHz Core Clock, 6 GB Memory

lastcalaveras · Jan 1, 2012

knowing asus they'll have a matrix edition that will be able to overclock to about 1500Mhz+

Delta6326 · Jan 1, 2012

7970 on LN2 hits 1700MHz!!! :rockout:

From Legit Reviews

Faster than 6990 and 590 SLI/Xfired... :eek:

1 beats 4

i already feel sad on my 6990..... that stuff geting to fast ,
my 4870x2 done good jobs for over 3 years (still rocks on BF3 for that age) ,
i have my 6990 now almost 6 month and i already see it´s getting old after that period

me wonders why they don´t release it

spider, dragon , scorpion, .... platform related

instead of coding the stuff right on current cpu´s / gpu´s they just making things faster for merchandise hypes

crazyeyesreaper It wasn't planned as an insult, I don't even consider It as an insult but If you don't like it I will just edit it

idk how did u got to that conclusion, moreover how did you got to it based on a stupid synthetic benchmark. the sapphire 1335Mhz gpu will be as fast as a single HD6990\GTX590

What gets me giddy is that Voltage Control is not allowed on these cards yet. So after Voltage Control is unlocked just imagine the "Potential" of these cards. Reference designs should be able to fly to 1.2 GHz on the core!

1 beats 2 you moron! 6990 cfx and 590 sli are way up in the charts!
Btw the overclocks of the 7970 in this chart are 1.125 GHz on the core and 6.6 GHz on the memory which is about the same as the Toxic 3G card.
This also shows the performance of the ATOMIC cards will score ~ 10,000 marks in 3D mark 11 Performance Preset.

Sorry for not clarifying my post I was talking about the 1700mhz score. Thanks for the insult and please have a wonderful new year. Btw double posts are frowned apon

Cheers

That.....that....that word...that terrible word....how could you use in the same sentence in the one area where amd stomps all competition for real. Remember the hype the graphs and charts...dont jinx this man ....or I will and I mean I WILL unleash my army of digital cybog ninja monkies upon u....u have been warned....

So damn tempting, this card is an overclockers dream...

micropage7 · Jan 1, 2012

looks pretty promising
btw, its like spy shot paper

radrok · Jan 1, 2012

It's awesome

Kudos to Shamino, damn 15k P score 3Dmark2011

another 2MHz and I might buy one.

dj-electric · Jan 1, 2012

Imagining Sapphire's ATOMIC HD7970 + LN2 = mind blown

NdMk2o1o · Jan 2, 2012

See we either now need a new standard for game graphics that can take advantage of these beastly GPU's or monitor mfr's need to give us more than shitty 1080p on a single monitor that isn't going to cost $600+ otherwise us single monitor gamers will have no need to upgrade for at least 2 years (excludes upgrading because of e-peen envy)

ViperXTR · Jan 2, 2012

not 1337 enough '__'

You could always force more AA samples or use a more taxing method, still I fully agree that it's crazy I had to pay more than 1k for some 1600p monitors

Well for starters, fake news.

A professional overclocker (korrrhonen) couldnt reach more than 1285Mhz with watercooling and Sapphire's aircooled card does better? Also, even impossible for the Sapphire's watercooled version. 1125MHz maybe, but not 1325MHz.

Doesnt matter whether it's the 3GB or 6GB model, nothing else is different than the vRam size.
