Super 7970! Holly CRAPP 1355mhz core out of the boX!

[unknownuser200]

We tend to be skeptical about AMD or NVIDIA claiming stellar overclocking capabilities of their upcoming GPUs, but this time, it seems AMD wasn't playing the same old PR games. Sapphire is readying a non-reference design HD 7970 graphics card that boasts of 1335 MHz GPU clock speed. Out of the box

This is also supposed to come with 6gb of RAM as well

If it still has overclock head room as well this will be one awesome card.

I read somewhere, I think it was Aria but i'm not sure that 7970s at 1300mhz+ were closing in on 590s performance wise, I haven't seen any proof of it though I just remember reading it.

if this is what a single 7970 can do what the bloody hell is a 7990 is going to be like? nvidia better have something good coming along.

well its nice to see the AMD fans have something to cheer about for a change. Lets hope it lasts for y'all

Wow, some staggering numbers. If it is close to 590 performance, then it is sure to sell like hot cakes .

Anyone knows an expected price point? I am REEEEEAAAALLY tempted to buy one so i can play fullscreen on my new 27" monitor.

its 3gb says right on that tech paper 3072mb. anyway imagine if we see one of sapphires famous super dual cards a 7990 liquid cooled with a base clock of the same 1355mhz! a dream come true!

I agree with Tom when, I hope these new generation of cards bring them back in the game to give Nvidia something to worry about.

i hear they are doing 1.7ghz with subzero cooling
