For overclocking today we are using Catalyst Control Center.
We managed to push the core from 1,050mhz to 1,230mhz, and the memory from 1,250mhz to 1,450mhz. These are excellent overclocking results.
The manual overclock translates into a final score of 7,689 points which positions the card only a couple of hundred points behind the reference clocked HD7970. Very impressive.

Another good card from the Sapphire team 🙂
Great cards. My friend bought one and its really quiet. the coolers are great this year.
Bought the 7970 last week 🙂
Quality cards, but its a tough decision id have to base on price right now. as they all overclock much the same.
Its XFX or Sapphire usually, but that gigabyte card is a solid buy,
Only one problem. YOU CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE !!!”
nice specs. good performance sapphire coolers seem a bit better than XFX coolers in regards to tempeatures.
