The editors didn't like
Not a good value when compared to similar cards or factory overclocked Radeon HD 7970 that were already on offer. Runs hotter
Gets louder
And consumes more power than the GTX 680. Most gamers should look for the Radeon HD 7950 or GeForce GTX 670 inste
Only intermittently superior to other top AMD
Nvidia cards. Power-hungry. Loud
Not Clearly Faster than GTX 680
Louder and Uses More Power Than GTX 680
Consumes a lot more power than the competition
The 11-inch length is a tight fit in some cases
Extremely noisy in 3D
High price
Worse performance/Watt than regular HD 7970
PowerTune and ZeroCore may complicate advanced overclocking

Abstract: Though there are still some hotly anticipated titles due in 2016, we might already have the game of the year on our hands. Overwatch has been on our radar for a while now but it recently blew up in a big way with an open beta that attracted over 9 million...

Abstract: Twenty two years ago an obscure game developer called id Software released a first-person shooter that would have a huge impact on the future of PC gaming, computer graphics and the industry as a whole, that game was Doom. At the time I was 10, and while...

Based on what we were able to test with our GeForce GTX Titans, we can say without a doubt in our minds that the GeForce GTX Titan is the fastest GPU for gamers. If you like to do computational stuff as well, it isn’t half bad either, but I believe tha...

Abstract: AMD kick-started 2012 with the release of the Radeon HD 7970, the first member of the Radeon HD 7000 GPU series. This launch marked the introduction of the first-ever graphics card to be made on a 28nm design process, representing the company's most compl...
It wouldn’t be correct to claim that the AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition is the fastest single-GPU graphics card available today because our tests do not show it to be overwhelmingly better than the reference GeForce GTX 680. However, the increased clo...
Not being able to proclaim victory for its Tahiti GPU opposite the GeForce GTX 680, which is based on a less complex GPU, was probably a source of frustration to AMD. In bringing out the Radeon HD 7970 at the end of 2011 and in inaugurating the 28nm TS...
It was very interesting to see that with a little tweak at its clock configuration, the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition now has the same performance level as the GeForce GTX 680, while it is currently up to 33% faster than the original Radeon HD 7970.Costing e...

Excellent gaming, compute performance. Now includes dynamic overclocking feature.
Only intermittently superior to other top AMD, Nvidia cards. Power-hungry. Loud
AMD's tweaks to its original design help supercharge the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, but if you can live with slightly less speed, there are more compelling options to be found....
