Today for overclocking we are using the Catalyst Control Center.
We pushed the core to 1,180mhz, translating to a 12.3% core clock increase. Memory could be pushed to 1,360mhz (5.4Gbps effective), translating to a 13.3% increase. Both are healthy final results.
The overclock pushes the card to a new performance level, 300 points behind the reference clocked HD7970. Well worth the effort!
Its a problem when sapphire are constantly pushing new boundaries with their coolers.
I could tell on the first page that the cooler wasnt going to be good. It might work on the hD7850 as its much cooler running.
Its a nice looking little card actually, very neat and the size of the actual PCB.
Sadly that cooler is never going to work, lok at the size of the aluminum heatsink, its much too small for a start. its more suited to a HD7770.
Never seen their cards for sale here anyway, first ive read about them, ever.
The cooler does look almost identical to the HD7770 model, I doubt its any different http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-hd-7770-ghz-edition.html
its how companies save money between ranges, but it normally works from a higher spec model to a lower spec model, not the other way around
Avoid this card at all costs, I had the royalqueen version and it was so loud I couldnt live with it. I had it returned and got an XFX card, it was so quiet and about 15c cooler.
this info about graphics card is very completly,,tank,s
