To overclock today we use the latest version of Sapphire own software, TriXX.

We increased the voltage further and pushed the card to 1,223mhz – a 13.2% manual increase on the core clock speed. The memory maxed out at around 1,550mhz – a 10% increase.

The manual tweaked speeds translate into another 800 points in 3DMark 11 – pushing the final score from 16,407 points to 17,206 points.

    This is awesome- i love the GPU reviews here. Wish I had £500 spare, or £600 for the 8GB version.

    Sapphire focus a lot on the VRM’s – which many AMD partners DON”T. Glad to see you pointing it out in this review

    The Sapphire 290 is the better value card, its only 6 phase, not 10, but it overclocks well and saves you £130. enough to get a good new power supply

    Not much of an AMD fan but that card looks sexy.
