Why the disparity on Metro 2033 @ 2560x1600 with the Matrix vs the GHz Ed? 5% seems like a notable amount?
Excuse my impatience, what version of catalyst driver have you chosen for this review?
Oops, I am always leaving that out!
For the AMD GPUs we were using the Catalyst 12.11 beta and for NVIDIA we tested with 306.23.

Love the show guys, big fan keep up the good work.
Amazing post keep it up Guys at PCper

Nice detailed review, keep up the good work!
Great review!
I was about to replace my old trusty 5870 with a 7950 and now this came along. Oh well, budget was once again wiped out cause the holidays.
Is this the Ferrari of video cards?
I really like your writing style, great information, thankyou for posting : D.
I have the Matrix 7970 Platnium for about a week now. Some moderately high overclocks at 1230Mhz/7300Mhz. Using 12.11 driver, 3DMark11 score - 11160. I still have some thermal headroom, too. Here's a link to see how I progressed.

This graphic card is better than MSI GTX680 Lightning ? Will be faster for rendering things like 3D Objects in Blender, video animation, effects, etc...What will be the perfect choice, the ATI or the NVidia cards for graphic design ?
Screen captures were taken with onboard TURNO FAN MODE enabled ??
