    tbh that is a pitiful overclock, seeing as in the hexus review they get the card way beyond those clocks. Problem is they will probably bump the price up just for writing OC on the box.

    I think I'd rather plump for one of these...

    Cheaper than the Sapphire and a much higher OC.

    Well maybe not OC'd by standard but it looks like XFX is guaranteeing this to work up to the specified clock speeds.

    Why do vendors insist on adding artwork to the coolers that is frankly dire? Especially on the top-of-the-line, £500 card.
