The Black Edition scores around 4 frames per second more than the overclocked Sapphire HD7850 and around 8 frames per second more than the reference clocked HD7850. The XFX card is actually only 8 frames per second behind the HD7870.
Another winner from XFX, great clock speeds out of the box as author says.
impressive, but it is a bit expensive, no? I would expect to pay £200 but no more for a 7850?
I want to see your review of the GTX680, are you not reviewing it Zardon?
Hi Robert, our sample had a hardware problem (fan issue) and we are in the process of reviewing the replacement. Just one of those things.
