Very nice review...
I wonder why Sapphire decided to go backwards on the fan for the cooling...less blades?
I wonder what the reasoning is behind this or if it's just on the card you received...

I had read the clocks would go up to 1GHz on the R790 core. Here is the beast that I was waiting for!

Im hoping I can get a second one for some Crossfire action to see how well they scale at 1000+MHz.
The fan may push more air than the design with more blades but the card runs cool anyhow.
