by techPowerUp! (Jun, 2012)The core of the HD 7970 GHz Edition is clocked as high as 1000 MHz, with a Boost frequency of 1050 MHz; while the memory is upped to 1500 MHz (actual) or 6.00 GHz (GDDR5 effective), resulting in a staggering 288 GB/s bandwidth thanks to the 384-bit wide memory interface.
by techPowerUp! (May, 2012)Clock-wise the card comes with a nice overclock out of the box, base clock is almost 100 MHz higher than the reference design, memory has received a small bump, too.
