Overclocking

If anyone doubted that this is really just a renamed HD7970 then GPUz tells the full story. The ASUS DirectCU II cooler does an excellent job of allowing us plenty of headroom to overclock, with a good increase on the GPU core of 80MHz, and a serious boost on the memory, up by 800MHz effective.

Temperatures

The DirectCU II cooler performs well, keeping the 280X nice and cool even under our most stressful tests.
