PowerColor HD7970 Overclocking & Eyefinity Review
Memory Usage

Memory Usage
Considering that we have two extra screens running, all with hefty anti-aliasing and the highest possible settings, it's a genuine surprise to see how little extra VRAM the Eyefinity modes use up. Indeed Far Cry 2 actually uses less of the GDDR5. So for all you people going on about enormous amounts of memory, the mighty Witcher 2 only uses 500MB of the 3GB onboard.

Good work AMD. Nice to see.
These cards are retailing in Australia for the same price as a 3gig GTX580 so bang for buck can't beat it ATM.
Just amazing...
Great vids Tom. All we need know are better drivers.
The prices are a bit steep but what the hell.
Personally I'm going to wait till their are some oc editions with better cooling before i shell out 800+ on a couple of these beauty's.
Great work Tom, go have a lie down know.

In retailers there are pictures of the card with this ugly red pcb, for example VTX one on Aria, but Toms one have black pcb? Does that mean that they will be selling this cards with only black pcb?Or somebody can get unhappy and get the red one???
Also really looking for it to get one of those and put water block on it

The XFX Black Edition looks amazing .
.The 7970 looks pretty cool. Hopefully AMD will continue to impress with their video card line up. Anticipating what the vendors will be bringing out in terms of their respective coolers and card variations.
1125mhz oc with CCC. Was this the maximum limit and how far can it be pushed mhz/mV? Can it be pushed further in msi afterburner perhaps.
I like the performance of this card. It beats the Gigabyte oc in so many benches :-)
Maybe TTL or someone else could anwear about this. Thanks in advance
