XFX Radeon HD 7970 Double D 3GB DDR5 2XMINI-DP HDMI DVI PCI-E Video Card

Comment:
This is a great card, but it runs hotter than my Sapphire 7970 OC cards and the fan is much louder. It's a little slower than the Sapphire's, but nothing significant. Lack of extra adapters is insignificant given you have the right PSU connectors, but Sapphire cards come with 2 PCI-e > Molex and a DVI > VGA. Nice if you need them, luckily for this card I didn't.

I was hesitating between this card and the GTX 680. The lower cost and the promo made me go for AMD. Very happy with my choice! This review was modfied by poster @ 03-27-13 07:57 PM

Very good card. runs very quiet. My only beef is I haven't received any of the games yet.

Replaced 5870 crossfire. Overclocked it to 1050/1500 with max temp at 61 and 37 idle. Feels like I can overclock it more but not worth pushing it too hard. With the old gpus get good fps (90-120) on all medium setting for bf3. Now mix off ultra and high setting with same or higher fps (95-130)then older setup. With 120htz monitor this gpu shines .

Be warned that if you're buying this card with the intention of overclocking you will be sorely disappointed. XFX made a mid-run, poorly documented change of the PCB of this board so it is NOT A REFERENCE board and so you can NOT get a full coverage water block.I was not able to increase the clocks on my board without getting out of my temperature comfort zone. I have a very, very sturdy power supply, so I tried to lower the voltage so I could squeeze out some more performance. But after emailing XFX I was informed that these cards are voltage locked.It's a 7970, so it will handle everything fine single monitor. However, if you want to run 3 monitor eyefinity with ultra settings, you may end up with some unreliable framerates.I'm having to buy another for crossfire because I'm finding games like Skyrim too choppy in eyefinity. And I've gone past my return period.

I just got this card about a week ago. I don't think I'm a complete idiot when it comes to overclocking, but by no means a pro. I've tried to use the AMD utility and other utilities as well, and they seem to "work". However, when I go to play a game, my frame rates drop  to around 20fps and never go higher, even with decreasing all the graphics options. I'm not sure whats wrong. Still giving the card a 4/5 because it's plenty powerful for everything I play on it. Crysis 2 with everything at max ~60fps+

This video card will make your computer a monster that takes any challenging games out there to the ground .just name the game and your FPS would not drop  Less than 40 , knowing that the card alone is not the right thing , you will also need a i5 with a nice motherboard and power supply of at least 750W. then we will talk power .The MHZ version is providing more performance , but the 900 ghz version should be enough for you to play in a peace of mind for the next 2 years .Tested it with 3D monitor …..still a blast .

I love this card. Overclocking went flawlessly.

Comment:
With the amount of power this thing has you expect max FPS without tweaking on maximum settings on any game, but across a wide selection of games and a variety of settings the frame rate varies heavily.

Comment:
Love the card Fast Runs all Games on Max Settings Heaven benchmarks 46 avg FPS with Everything maxed out .Card Is quite large just shy of 11inchs had to move my SSD up in my case as the card bumped the cables .

I bought this to replace my GTX 570 graphics card and I must say I'm very pleased! The latest driver release gives a nice boost to performance which is nice. Not to mention the free games and Tshirt! Quite happy with my purchase and would do so again for sure!

Got this to crossfire 7970. Originally was going to get Powercolor but it was sold out. I personally like this over Powercolor as Powercolor feels weak (structually) at the end part of the card.

Received "Version 1.1" of the card - week of Feb 21st, 2012. This version does not have the dual bios switch (4/5 review because of that)
