Sapphire HD7870 Overclock Edition Review

For overclocking today we are using Catalyst Control Center.

We managed to push the core from 1,050mhz to 1,230mhz, and the memory from 1,250mhz to 1,450mhz. These are excellent overclocking results.

The manual overclock translates into a final score of 7,689 points which positions the card only a couple of hundred points behind the reference clocked HD7970. Very impressive.

Path of Exile 2 has been in early access for around a year at this stage, but we are still quite a long ways off from release. The next major update will bring the game up to Version 0.4, although Grinding Gear Games says it is going to do everything it can to ensure that Version 1.0 does not slip into 2027.

  2. Great cards. My friend bought one and its really quiet. the coolers are great this year.

  3. Bought the 7970 last week 🙂

  4. Quality cards, but its a tough decision id have to base on price right now. as they all overclock much the same.

  5. Its XFX or Sapphire usually, but that gigabyte card is a solid buy,

    Only one problem. YOU CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE !!!”

  6. nice specs. good performance sapphire coolers seem a bit better than XFX coolers in regards to tempeatures.
