VTX3D HD7870 Black Review (Tahiti LE)

To overclock today we relied on the Catalyst Control Center, no software fully supports this card yet, apart from the AMD reference package.

There was a huge amount of headroom on our review sample. We managed to push the core from 975mhz to a whopping 1,155mhz, almost 20% extra! The memory maxed out around 1,600mhz (6.4Gbps effective). Increasing the voltage didn't make a difference to the end result.

This significant overclock translated to a considerable 600 points increase in 3Dmark, scoring over 8,500 points. This is around 2,000 points more than the reference HD7870.
