To overclock today we are using the latest beta version of Sapphire's TriXX tool which arrived with us a day before this article was due for publication. V4.6.2.
There is certainly plenty of headroom on the core as we managed to push from 1,075mhz to a whopping 1,260mhz before encountering instability or artifacting.
The manual overclock helps push the 3DMark scores from 3,735 points to 4,008 points, just shy of the HD7850 score.

Good looking card from Sapphire, not so sure of the range however, pricing looks off.
HD7850 is the best of the bunch, they used to £180, now you can get one for under £130.
Good review. looks like a good buy if they replaced the HD7770 with this one at the same £100 price. Can’t see this card online, interested to see how much of a premium the OC and cooler will cause.
I like the intro and conclusion, very true points on pricing. And this audience are all about price. some reviews just overlook it completely.
Do you know Scan have the XFX HD7850 for £127 today !
Unless AMD force up the price of the HD7850 to sell HD7790 this wont work. people will get pissed too. HD7850 at under £140 rocks.
