The huge overclock on both core and memory help push the card into the mid 8k performance zone. The card scores 8,550 points, which is only 700 points behind the GTX590.
Wow thats a great product, surprised how well it handles.
What is their warranty support like though? Powercolor had a terrible coverage plan in the UK.
I dont think it looks that bad. anyway who looks at a video card anyway, once its installed, its out of sight, right?
Wow im buying this, ive waited for a while now for a good 7970 with quality cooler. none in stock yet, another week before its available 🙁 damn you kitguru for getting my hopes up.
Well some difference there is… as i checked warranty times from one shop for some 7970 cards. MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte offering 3 years on the ones i checked. XFX 2 years and this one has 1 year. I bought this one anyway.
