For overclocking today we used the latest beta version of MSI Afterburner 2.2.
We didn't manage to get a great overclock from the memory, analysing some minor artifacts when pushing past 1039mhz. We managed to push the core to 886mhz, which translates to an overclock a little less than 8%.
The overclock gained noticeable results from 3DMark 11, improving the score by around 300 points to 4,525. This pushed the performance past the reference clocked AMD HD6870.

nice card, but why not go for a ti instread? seems a better deal to me.
I already have this card and the review is fair, it is a bit loud due to the single, small fan, but performance is great. THey should have made a dual fan version
Sparkle? didnt even know they were still going. they have a weak presense in UK. not the first company I would think of for a purchase.
looks like a decent card, but the cooler is quite poor considering the competition. You were too nice in the review
I think this card is pointless with new AMD cards launching soon and all that.
good review ! thanks kitguru !
