What a shame they could not shave few watts off power consumtion to use it without PCIe power connector. Or at least made the card to work without it and PCIe power connection as optional when You overclock. Hopefully some of the board partners will do that.
Pretty decent review.
Question on Test Setup: what are the GPU/GDDR clocks? Reference?
This just goes to show that AMD is more than CPU's. Looks like you get a lot of card for your money here, and it's not a hand-me-down technology, either; it's cutting-edge.
Here is a rivetuner edit that works. Just change RV770 = 9440h-9443h,944Ch into RV770 = 9440h-9443h,944Ch,94B3h in Rivatuner.cfg
I got mine to 888/1000
