The crew at Overclockers Club has published a review of the ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II today that is definitely worth checking out. From the numbers we see below, this card seems to be quite the overclocker:

Overclocking on ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II was fruitful, based on the fact that this card came with standard reference clock speeds of 925MHz on the core and 1375MHz on the 3GB of GDDR5 memory. By using ASUS GPU Tweak and other tools, I was able to reach overclocks of over 22% on the core and over 20% on the memory with the final clock speeds of 1134MHz and 1669MHz on the core and memory, respectively.
 
1134 core is nothing to brag about with a 7970. It is mediocre at best. I have had 4 different cards and all were capable of better than that.

I had 2 that were 1175 doable
1 1250
1 1300+
 
Also, the damn DVI isn't capable of a full dual-link so I can't run my 1440p off of it.

It was great for running DP monitors, but couldn't handle the far more common DVI.
