It seems kinda odd, it's called a 7870 still which is confusing, especially as you can't crossfire it with a Pitcairn 7870.
It is frequently faster than a 7950 (in BF3 for example), and only slightly below on average.
Power consumption however is really high, higher than the 7950 and not far off the 7970. Performance per watt is really quite poor, more like cards from the previous generation.
It's a cut down 7950 that has a whole load of extra voltage run through it to make it perform.
On the plus side this makes any voltage locking almost irrelevant because the default is so high.
