    Wow this looks amazing for the price. Black Diamond Chokes from the $700 TOXIC, Vapor-X cooler from the TOXIC, all wrapped in a highly overclockable 7950 chip. This card will blow the doors off 660Ti for just $50.

    This likely performs worse then the 950mhz model because the max it reaches is 925..

  • xtco

    Nevermind, this is actually a better card, featuring boost from 850mhz to 950. Great card.

    Only buy this card if price cames to 300 EUR, maybe when AMD 8000 series launch :)
    It has a good clock, don´t need it at 1GHZ and over, power consuption will increase for some Mhz gains.

    I might skip HD8000 series and get GTX780 if it’s based on a 2880-3072 shader GK110 / Tesla K20. That would be faaaaaaast. ;)

    This card is now on Newegg for $370 + shipping. Way too expensive vs. the MSI TwinFrozr 3 7950:
