Before sharing our closing thoughts, we decided to test the system by slotting in another reference HD7950 and overclocking it to the same speeds as the Sapphire HD7950 cards.
After reinstalling the driver, Catalyst Control Center detected the extra card without a hitch.
All cards were configured to 900mhz core and 1250mhz via the GDDR5 memory.
Adding a third card increases the score from 12,976 points to 16,804 points, an increase of 3,828 points. By comparison, the two Sapphire HD7950's when manually overclocked to over 1,200mhz on the core score 15,406 points …. only 1398 points less than three at 900mhz.
Awesome, if its £360 thats £130 less than their 7970….
1,200mhz? thats insane. worth the money for that alone!
Looks like this is the new ‘to buy’ card, like the previous 6950 which could be unlocked.
Why are all the companies supplying them in such low states of clock? 1000mhz seems easy and would get them sales.
ARIA Dont sell this one. just the 800mhz version. Its 360. I think this will be closer to 400. Are they any different, better batch or hand picked maybe?
XFX cooler looks better, this is very plastickly. I would wait on the better Toxic edition which will probably be out in a month, with even higher clocks and premium capacitors etc.
