Are you serious?

Overclock it to play what game? If I were you I will not reduce the life of my expensive GPU for a few fps

Actually 7970 is only a tad faster than the GTX 580 smile.gif If you're talking about high resolutions like 2560 x 1600 on certain games, you still need a Crossfire setup to get a good 60 fps. Overclock does reduce life span but it will be years before it does. I don't think anyone would mind if their 7970 dies 10 years later.

hopefully by time, AMD driver support team are working hard to satisfy their 7970's customer after what they've paid. I believe there's much more potential in this card, only time will tell smile.gif. thanks for drop by..
To be honest, there's a limit what the drivers can do. What's important here is the support of drivers for that particular game. It doesn't mean that 6 months down the road with Catalyst version 25 coming out, we will get extra 10-20 FPS with it smile.gif

Alright,

here's some update on the 7970's OC potential and performance gain OVER STOCK that we could get in some of the latest/old games once we OC'ed this card.

Graphics Details: All Maxed out except for unigine 2.5 with Normal tessellation.
Nice reviews again smile.gif Btw, what are the temps like at 1275/1675 during gaming?
