Sapphire 7970 Toxic Edition - 1150 Mhz / 6 Gb - AMD ready to take the crown back?






Team Nvidia : Staying Strong




So it looks like that Nvidia is stepping up their game with the release of the 2 Gb Zotax GTX 680 extreme which comes at a stock clock / turbo of 1200 Mhz here, and is reported to overclock to around 1400 mhz stable enough to run 3DMark11 here

Note this Card's maximum clock is only a mear 8.2% higher than the maximum clock of a stock GTX 680.

3DMark 11 Score:







Team AMD : New King





Soon Sapphire will laucnh their flagship card, the 6 Gb 7970 Toxic Edition. This card will come stock at 1150/1500 Mhz, and has already been overclocked to 1300/1900 Mhz seen here. This is a great deal higher than most 7970s so its interesting to see how Sapphire's fine tuning really paid off.


Note this Card's maximum clock is only a 24.3% higher than the maximum clock of a stock 7970.

Both these cards will come at a whopping price of 599 USD.
