Voids warranty I believe, plus the GHZ edition gives AMD fanboys a loophole and a way to say that a "reference" 7970 is faster than a 680

the ghz editions have a boost bios and that they could be binned for slightly higher overclocks. not worth my 50 bucks or anyones but dedicated amd fanboys

Vanilla 7970 is faster than the gtx 680, ask yourself is it fair to compare a stock 7970 to an "Autoboosted" GTX 680??

It's fair in my eyes, as it's a reference feature and designed that way. I was only joking haha, no need to get hostile, it's such a hit and miss topic anyways, they trade blows in different games.
