Amd Volcanic Islands details

[BababooeyHTJ]

I had a 7970 Dual-X and it was not so good regarding overclocking.
I bought that because of non voltage restriction compared to nVidia.
However, I was disappointed by the huge vdrop and low margin to play, indeed, this card was restricted too but nobody told me nothing about that.
Finally, I sold it.

Can't blame AMD for that. Their reference models work great and are very well built.

Honestly it seems like every time that I see complaints like this its from some non-reference XFX card. You should always do your research before buying any non-reference model

I just can't wait to get rid of my POS 7870 damn drivers suck real ass. Non oc'd never over 50c and it just reboots all the time due to driver failure, seems like this is the only card/model to do it

Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I've even had unstable overclocks cause vga driver issues.
