The editors liked
Nice clockspeed bump over vanilla HD 7970
Can make a case for it being best singleGPU card
Everincreasing app ecosystem based on Open CL
Lightning fast performance
Great compute performance
Top GPU on the block
Absolute performance levels
Power use when idle
ZeroCore Power function
Noticeable improvement over the original HD7970
Good overclocking headroom
Quiet when non tasked
Dual bios switch is handy
3GB of GDDR5 memory
Low idle power draw
The editors didn't like
Superstiff competition from NVIDIA's GTX 670 OC
Price
Potentially
Incredibly expensive
And not great value with it
Very noisy when gaming
Power use when running games
Loud when loaded
Price looks to be higher
Added power drain over initial HD7970
Overclocked GTX680 models are faster (and quieter)
Kitguru says
Another fast card from AMD
But we are slightly disappointed they didn't develop a new

Abstract: We put 14 professional and seven gaming graphics cards from two generations through a number of workstation, general-purpose computing, and synthetic applications. By the end of our nearly 70 charts, you should know which board is right for your workload....
Based on what we were able to test with our GeForce GTX Titans, we can say without a doubt in our minds that the GeForce GTX Titan is the fastest GPU for gamers. If you like to do computational stuff as well, it isn’t half bad either, but I believe tha...

Abstract: AMD kick-started 2012 with the release of the Radeon HD 7970, the first member of the Radeon HD 7000 GPU series. This launch marked the introduction of the first-ever graphics card to be made on a 28nm design process, representing the company's most compl...
It wouldn’t be correct to claim that the AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition is the fastest single-GPU graphics card available today because our tests do not show it to be overwhelmingly better than the reference GeForce GTX 680. However, the increased clo...
Not being able to proclaim victory for its Tahiti GPU opposite the GeForce GTX 680, which is based on a less complex GPU, was probably a source of frustration to AMD. In bringing out the Radeon HD 7970 at the end of 2011 and in inaugurating the 28nm TS...
It was very interesting to see that with a little tweak at its clock configuration, the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition now has the same performance level as the GeForce GTX 680, while it is currently up to 33% faster than the original Radeon HD 7970.Costing e...

Excellent gaming, compute performance. Now includes dynamic overclocking feature.
Only intermittently superior to other top AMD, Nvidia cards. Power-hungry. Loud
AMD's tweaks to its original design help supercharge the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, but if you can live with slightly less speed, there are more compelling options to be found....
Since we first reviewed the Radeon HD 7970 late last year a lot has changed, namely the arrival of the GeForce GTX 680 and GTX 670 graphics cards which resulted in AMD price cuts and ultimately today’s release. When we tested the GeForce GTX 670 we con...
Final Words & Conclusion I've been an aficionado of the Radeon HD 7970 series ever since its launch, it just is a great performing card. The dynamic however changed a little when NVIDIA released the GTX 670 and 680. Actually while being as fast and h...
