Gigabyte HD7970 OC Review

Resident Evil 5 DirectX 9

Even the ultra-consistent Resident Evil 5 isn't capable of making the most of the Gigabyte. Or shall we say the Gigabyte isn't making the most of the excellent Capcom game.

A shame to see the blue PCB, despite seeing early pics with a black PCB... still considering a 7950/Kepler (after TTL reviews of course!) upgrade in the future!

what is the difference between the blue and dark PCB

I just bought this for gaming and that is its weakest site, damn Could it be that Tom had a "bad" version or just out of luck to get a good gpu like you see with some cpu when you start to oc??

I think it's more than time the performance going down when a card is overclocked is seriously looked at.

Is it actually £500 for the 9/10 for the price score ? I have no idea on the actual.

Lovely coolers these.

If you're a Batman fan, you still save your cash and get a 560ti.. it's crazy what optimizing for one game can do.

.. and they don't like the synthetic Unigine.

pcie 2.1 ?

Windforce FTW. Unusual though that the card is slower than the ref models
