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.
