XFX HD7870 Black Edition Overclocked Graphics Card Review

For the overclocking today, we are using Catalyst Control Center.

We managed to increase the core clock to 1,240mhz from 1,050mhz – translating to an 18 percent overclock. The memory maxed out at 1,345mhz (5380mhz effective).

The overclock increased the 3DMark 11 score from 6,797 points to 7,642 points, only 200 points behind the HD7970. Impressive results.

  1. those cards are pure sex. Id probably want the 7950 though if I was getting an XFX DD card. seems to make more sense, especially when overclocked to the limit.

  2. Good cards, but far too many to choose from in the last 2 weeks. hard to know what to buy (if I was in the market).

  3. HD6850 is the better value card IMO, its under £200 now in the UK, 6870 is too closely priced to 6950 IMO
