the Radeon HD 7970 is these day single GPU performance king. There
simply isn't a card on the market which can keep up with this one. And
best of all it doesn't matter if you're looking at performance when
using standard clock speeds or overclocking potential. The HD 7970
simply sets a higher benchmark everyhwere. Furthermore the Double
Dissipation cooler XFX is using for their card is a good compromise in
our opinion. Under load the card is quieter than the reference design
but it comes at the cost of some of the overclocking potential. |

| What can you say it this point: the Radon HD 7970 really
sets the benchmark for single GPU graphics cards these days and that's
about it. Recent games can be played at the highest resolutions at
maximum detail level absolutely smooth. Even playing on a multi display
setup is no big deal. Pixel accelerator like this one really are
screaming for 4K displays to finally arrive. |

at this point the card was able to convice. Without any hesitation we
put the sliders to the maximum and started benchmarking it again. At
1'125 MHz on the GPU and 6'300 MHz on the memory you get another
significant boost in performance. |

a card that is based on the world fastest single GPU graphics chip that
ships with a well proportioned cooler, then the XFX R7970 Double
