To overclock today we used the latest beta of the MSI Afterburner software tool which allows for 3 way voltage tweaking.
We managed to push the core clock to 1260mhz, from 1070mhz, which translates to an almost 18% increase. The memory maxed out at 1478 mhz, or a 3.7% increase.
When the card is manually pushed to the limits, we achieved a score of 9,821 points, almost in line with the HD6990. Great results.

Lovely, very nice, and yet again very expensive……… we can only dream!
Wow… so thats £500 for a card with no copper used as a cooling material, and Aluminum used instead,
thats a less ductile material = an inferior cooling solution, using a cheapr material for more money…
MSI really know how to impress – or charge more for using cheaper materials!!!
Good point from muppett, copper might have improved on the results by 1-2 c more.
however, the end result is great as the testing shows.
@muppet:
Actually the Cooler material is copper, but it’s nickel coated, so it doesn’t corrode (very, VERY easy with copper)
Only the fin array is made of Aluminium
I take it 12.3 drivers were used for this test and the other custom 7970’s?
