Sapphire 7970 OC @ PureOverclock

[Lupine]

Pure OC takes a look at Sapphire's new HD 7970 OC edition.

The Sapphire HD 7970 OC comes with a custom cooler and sports a factory overclock out of the box. As we've come to expect from Sapphire, excellent cooling is a hallmark of their designs, and today may be no different with this new card.

Simple review, no super resolutions used, a very nice card. Still the 680 looks to be boss at 1920x1200 and down and still performs well above. Have to ggree though, until 680s and then 670s become available AMD wion't have too much incentive to reduce pricing.

One thing of note is how well the 7870/50 does against the 580/570. In many cases beating them with prices now that are better. Nvidia is not competing with those cards yet.

yeah it is kind of surprising giving all the flack AMD is catching over pricing that the 7800 series seems to go unnoticed.. GTX 570/580 or HD 6900 performance starting @ $250.. the 7850 rivals my 6950 at nearly $100 less what I paid, even matching 6970 for $100-150 less today's pricing..
