Asus Matrix HD7970 Platinum Graphics Card Review

For our overclocking tests today we are using the ASUS GPU Tweak software which is supplied on the software disc.

The software allows adjustments to power target, load line and VRM Clock. These need to toggled on within the ‘settings' menu.

We played for a couple of hours with various settings, and found the best results from those in the screenshot above. We managed to overclock the core from 1,100mhz to 1,211 mhz which translates to a 10% increase. The memory peaked at 1,728mhz (6.9Gbps effective), an almost 5% increase.

The healthy overclock translates to a substantial increase in 3DMark 11, with a final score of 9,910 points – just above the Sapphire HD7970 Toxic Edition with Lethal Boost enabled.
