News - PowerColor cranks up speed on HD 7970 Vortex II edition

[HEXUS]

But will 1,100MHz on the core be enough to rival GeForce GTX 680?

Oo that's the one with the pop-out fans isn't it? Very interested in how it fares in representative games vs the 680.

If you'd care to lend me one, with a 680, I'd be more than happy to compare it to my 7970 at 1050Mhz for a three way comparison...

Where's the bottom snap come from. It's got the same number of Crossfire connectors as pics 1 and 2 put together.....

Good spot. Seems to have 2x8 pin power as well, instead of the 2x6pin of the first two pictures.

TBH,I am more interested in this card(not interested enough to buy one though):

It seems a highly overclocked HD7870 can trade blows with an HD7950 and/or HD7970 running at stock clockspeeds at 1920X1080 and consumes less power too.

Hopefully,when Nvidia releases the GTX670 and GTX670TI,AMD will introduce a higher clocked HD7890.

Thats insane cat! It really seems as though core clock speed matters above all else, maybe thats why Nvidia 680 is doing much better than the normal Nvidia style?. I hope that maybe AMD can somehow pull out a 7950 at the core clock of 1.5ghz with low watt usage, then id buy one .

interesting times!

that does look very nice indeed
