To overclock today we are using the latest version of Sapphire's TriXX software tool.
We overclocked the card with a little increase in board power. We managed to get the core stable at 1039mhz, from 860mhz – translating to a 20.8% increase. The GDDR5 memory could be pushed from 1,250mhz (5,000mhz effective) to 1,408mhz (5,632mhz effective), translating to a 12.6% increase. Both really impressive results.
How does this affect the performance?
An increase of over 1,000 points in 3DMark 11 is not to be sniffed at. The Sapphire HD7950 Dual-X FleX Edition actually outperforms the reference clocked HD7970 at these settings, and almost catches the overclocked MSI R7970 lightning!
That is awesome, out of my price league, but fleX rocks.
They make great cards. only problem i can see with this card will be the price, fleX normally ads £30 to the price. it might end up around £380, which is only £20-30 less than the cheapest 7970’s.
Nice looking card. I reckon it will cost closer to 400
I d love this card? Competition anyone? 🙂
This system wouldnt cost that much. Three 24 inch screens around 450 total. System about 1500.
Really kick ass. But i might prefer the 670 from asus.
Very impressive. I want a third screen this year
I like their new coolers,mthey are very quiet
