Overclocking and Overclocked Performance
I spent some time overclocking this GPU, I originally had a very good overclock of 1186MHz, however, this proved unstable on the very last benchmark test. The result ended up downclocking to 1137MHz. I didn’t adjust the memory as it proved very little performance increase for the increased instability.

A mild overclock cements its place at the top of the charts.
How does this card have a great performance/price ratio if the price is unknown yet?
Kudos for being the first tech site that reviewed the 300 series from AMD ( from what I see).
Because the price isn’t unknown.
I find it intriguing that this seems to be the only review showing any higher memory usage.
I’m beginning to wonder if some 390/X are actually running the old Hawaii core while others are running the *very* slightly updated Grenada (which has 2~5% higher per cycle and about 20~40W lower power draw on the core – which is then used on the RAM and higher clock speeds.).
anything from Sapphire that is not OC AKA Black Screen version?
If you had black screen issue, you probably used ASUS motherboard. I had the same problem and it turned out it was the shitty’s Asus M5A78L-M fault. I had so many problem with this mobo it’s ridiculous. I’ll never take anything else from them.
Did you guys honestly run one compute benchmark and declare Nvidia as the winners? WOW just WOW
When I saw this: GTX970 ROPs: 64 i stopped reading. Gj on your fail
