    [H] users 7970 Overclock Results thread

    If you are overclocking to 1200mhz, a 30% OC wouldn't the card still throttle as the max in power tune is only +20%.

    New 7970 is slower than my old 5970, am I missing something?

    This thread had me seriously thinking of getting another 5850 to CF rather than a 7970. $120 vs $699 (7970 price where I live) for same or better performance sounds like a no brainer.

    HD7950 ow3nz HD7970 in performance for current price point

    The 7950 is clearly the worst value among the second tier cards. Its the most cut down with 13% less shaders compared to 10% and 8% for 5850 and 6950. It does not enforce AMD reference design which means cost cutting designs from day one. The only model that stuck to the $459 mrsp has no vrm...

    what is it with BF3 and AMD 7000 series?

    This is without defered 4X MSAA This from your link: 69fps vs 73fps. 7950 does very badly compared to 6970 as well. Especially if you consider 6950 unlocked only cost about half the price for 5% less performance. Frankly this is even worse result than I expected in BF3

    what is it with BF3 and AMD 7000 series?

    Funny how every game the 7900 performs poor is accused of using drivers cheats. Speculations and rumours repeated often enough becomes the truth and used to excuse AMD for every game they perform bad in. The irony is BF3, Dirt 2/3, Dragon age 2 are AMD GE games and they perform worse in these games.

    AMD 7950 BiOS Flash to 7970 Discussion

    We can only hope. But I would say $259 is where it should be in line with 5850 which is also second tier.

    what is it with BF3 and AMD 7000 series?

    4870 is 200% of 3870 5870 is 170% of 4870 Gtx480 is 160% of gtx285

    what is it with BF3 and AMD 7000 series?

    What he said is right the 7950 is neck to neck with a GTX570 in BF3 at 1920x1080. I wouldn't call 1.7fps more blowing away.

    [H] users 7970 Overclock Results thread

    Less than 10% OC with added voltage. You can set power tune at 0% that will get you alot better clocks like the rest of the guys here. But that will ultimately throttle the performance and defeat the purpose of overclocking.

    7970 Overclocking Woes

    Reading this thread gives me the feeling alot of the 7970 overclocking hype are based on cherry picked review units. Real world results does not look good at all.

    6850 CF vs 5850 CF BF3

    Yup. Its all down to drivers which can make or break CF scaling. If there is any innovation in hardware architecture that directly improves scaling AMD will be all over it in their 6000 series marketing presentations. And I can never understand the logic of going 6850 over 5850 just because they...

    6850 CF vs 5850 CF BF3

    900Mhz? I think he is refering to 6870. The 5850 outperforms the 6850 by almost 20% in BF3 and only a hair slower than the 6870 And yes overclocked to the same clocks a 5850 will also outperform a 6870 obviously.
