mmm, yum!
Not only the GPU core clock, but also 5638Mhz CPU clock, 2500Mhz DDR3 Ram clock, and 7920Mhz! gpu memory clock (unless if it's multiplied by 2 already). Look at the GPU's filtrate ad bandwidth values, if this is not photoshopped, then this is surely heaven.

i suspect 1.5 ghz is will be stock clocks in a matter of years
Beej
Thats peter tan, AKA shamino.
Yes the 7920mhz is memory frequency, 1980 x 4 (quad data rate qdr aka ddr5). Its not THAT high on memory frequency since hardwarecanucks got 8000mhz+ on it. But mem oc is a bit tricky and alot of times not temp related, pure luck. But 1.7ghz is indeed amazing.
You should see even more oc headroom when asus and msi release their custom cards. ALso its confirmed that sapphire will release a watercooled ready 7970, like corsair H50 on a gpu, stock 1335 mhz! So yea expect some big oc on air, probably 1200-1300mhz +-.

I noticed something exceptionally weird...this is the first time one of the companies (AMD / Nvidia) actually encourage releasing heavily OCed 7970s to the market. Seems they clocked them a bit low at stock for safety when paper launching? It doesn't seem that 925MHz is actually the stock frequency such cards should run at. But the problem is it compromised AMD's standings with the GTX 580. However this can be due to drivers (big time! First driver release for 7970, which has a new architecture GCN and not VLIW4) and clock frequencies. I think people should compare OCed 7970s to OCed 580's and OCed Kepler when they release. Because it's very possible that Nvidia may NEVER reach the OCs the 7970 is reaching. And is that why AMD is encouraging selling OCed cards?

honestly i don't care what they do,at the end of the day the one with most performance wins!
