7970 should've been #2 or #1 IMO. It was their greatest GPU in terms of overclockability. It launched at 925MHz. My reference one clocked to 1.3GHz on the stock cooler (40% OC) and ram also went to the moon (not too far though, e.g. it gained perf, not lost it due to ECC like some people do). Loud but fast. It was faster than the next generation from Nvidia lmao.

Sure it was a golden sample but damn it was insane to get that much performance for free.

not to mention you can just unlock the 7950

phenomenal card...i went back to buy one last year for my period-correct rig, ditto for the 8800 GTX

7950 was also a great card, save the money, unlock it and they also can OC very well.
