To overclock today we use the latest version of Sapphire own software, TriXX.
We increased the voltage further and pushed the card to 1,223mhz – a 13.2% manual increase on the core clock speed. The memory maxed out at around 1,550mhz – a 10% increase.
The manual tweaked speeds translate into another 800 points in 3DMark 11 – pushing the final score from 16,407 points to 17,206 points.

Just under 10 years ago, Fallout 4 officially released to the world. While the game is far from perfect, it resonated with millions thanks to its sandbox-like design and focus on exploration among other ancillary additions (such as the settlement mechanic and base building). As they have done with many of their previous games, Bethesda has now officially announced Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition – bundling the base game alongside its DLC and hundreds of user-created mods.

This is awesome- i love the GPU reviews here. Wish I had £500 spare, or £600 for the 8GB version.
Sapphire focus a lot on the VRM’s – which many AMD partners DON”T. Glad to see you pointing it out in this review
The Sapphire 290 is the better value card, its only 6 phase, not 10, but it overclocks well and saves you £130. enough to get a good new power supply
I prefer their blue finish, to the orange. its very sexy. I still have a Sapphire AIW card, thats how well they are built 😉
Not much of an AMD fan but that card looks sexy.
