"HD7970 & HD7950 Results Thread - Torture Your Card, Post It Here!"

[Ket]

Thats very gay of Gigabyte, I wouldn't keep the card either or I'd at least try flashing a few different manufacturers vBIOSes onto it first to save the hassle of sending it back. Early testing of my MSI 7950 suggests it is a good OCer. Haven't tested memory yet but I easily maxed out @ 1100MHz with a measly 1.1v. On stock volts of 1.03v I comfortably hit 1010MHz. I'm going to try the /xlc trick with afterburner and see how much further I can go. I'm pretty surprised nobody has made a vBIOS editor for these cards yet.

ED - WTF AMD.. /xlc doesn't work anymore from what I can tell.. limits remain the same in Overdrive as do they in afterburner.
