Haha poor blue 
When I saw it I had hopped red had done it because I wanted his opinions on the difference between sapphires older vapour-x cooling and the dual-x cooling they are using now.

Man these spammers are geniuses...put (NO SPAM) in the thread title to hide the spam. It's brilliant. Hopefully this doesn't catch on...what if rapists wear signs that say (NOT A RAPIST)? They will be raping everybody! D:

Blue had a 4850 Vapor-X and a 7770 Vapor-X...I think she liked this one just as much. Obviously she'll be able to fill you in when she gets home.
Booyah.

Fair enough although the 6970 to 7970 should be the better comparison.Blue had a 4850 Vapor-X and a 7770 Vapor-X...I think she liked this one just as much. Obviously she'll be able to fill you in when she gets home.
Anyway sapphire makes some nice coolers and very solid cards.

Very good review @BluePanda.
There is one thing I can't understand how the max core clock speed of 7950 is 25MHz higher than the speed of 7970.

For the 7970 review CCC was used for the OC. I think if you look back at the 7950 reviews from January -- the voltages were increased to up the OC rather than just using CCC. GPU-Z read the values for the OC that way...making up the extra OC that can't be obtained from CCC.
