You basically stated in slightly greater (and in places, inaccurate) detail what I already said.As for overclocking, WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING? From the Tom's Hardware article: That's a 225MHz overclock from the stock boost setting, not a small overclock by any means.[/citation]
Saying more of the GPU, especially the way you worded your post, implies just more of the core clusters and related hardware. The memory controllers are a part of the GPU, but that isn't the implication going by what you said.
Furthermore, none of what I said was inaccurate, I never said anything about the 7870 XT being bad at overclocking (there's a difference between being bad and not being as good as the 7950), and the 7870 XT isn't just a cut-down 7950, it also has inferior silicon quality (inferior binning regardless of further disabled features).

GPU frequency isn't everything in overclocking. Kepler teaches that lessen well too.
