Another review I found at the end of the page linked above my post, Quad Crossfire under LN2. Pretty sick scores, along with just about 1kW power usage lol.
Is their any 7970 Xfire vs 580 SLI reviews?
Yes, try the HardwareHeaven link in the OP.
What's to buy? It's true: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5261/amd-radeon-hd-7970-review/27reviews... reviews...
So... who bought the 3W idle power consumption bullshit? ;-p

MD Radeon HD 7970 3GB (925MHz GPU, 5.5GHz memory) (overclocked 1,125MHz GPU, 6.3GHz memory
Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB (772MHz GPU, 1,544MHz stream processors, 4,080MHz memory)
16fps more on BF3
Now remove the bandwith advantage and take into account the stock vs Overclocked card.
Suddenly the performance difference and the GPU performance increase doesnt look that big. And this is against the competitors old stock.

You're not reading the graphics correctly. The 7970 is ~25% faster than the GTX 580, stock vs. stock.http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2011/12/22/amd-radeon-hd-7970-3gb-review/4

Got a link? I'd be interested in reading up on their experiences. I'm betting these cards will respond very well to cold.Guru just posted they could only hit 1272 core on their reference 7970 at 1.3v. I'm dying to see a comparo between a 1Ghz core GTX 580 and a 1.3Ghz core 7970

With software voltage control. Amd is making it very hard to enable hardware voltage control.
Starting to look like 1300mhz will be the max core on air, 1400 on water and 1700+ with ln2
Hardware voltage control is a pain anyway. I haven't soldered on a trimmer since my 4870 (nor do I want to go back to that). As long as I can get over 1.3GHz (40% overclock), I will be content.http://www.guru3d.com/news/radeon-hd-7970-at-1278-mhz-with-software-voltage-guru3d/

Tweaktown has their review up.
They benchmark some truly worthless games. Very strange....
The only thing I even felt like clicking to see was Metro 2033.

That and they have no idea how to use a dB meter - all they're picking up is air moving/noise because it's too close to the card.They benchmark some truly worthless games. Very strange....
