Very cool and sufficient power

Performance on a "ASRock 970 Extreme4" with a "Phenom II X6 1100T":
- Unigine Heaven 3.0 with maximum details (standard clock): 768 points => overclocked (1200 / 1400MHz, 1.25V): 820 points, the Sapphire 7950 reached 980 points for comparison
- Battlefield 3 with 2x AA, 1080P: 33-45FPS, but on my system many image shifts (micro stuttering), which is why I play without AA and 1650x1050 pixels (about 10-15 images more)
- Far Cry 3 at 1080p and 2x AA to 27 pictures, but also image shifts (particularly at fast rotations)

Volume:
- Not perceive in desktop mode (but have a slightly louder CPU Fan: Zalman CNPS9900NT)
- Under load, the fan is audible, but not annoying (wind noise, subjective)
- Spulenfiepen occurred if at all the Heaven benchmark with full details faintly on, but I just took in all listening closely true (yes ..and, my hearing is still working well;))

Temperatures:
- IDLE: about 27 °
- Load (Furmark): max. 61 ° (overclocked)

All in all an adequate map for current games, if you screwed down the settings a bit. The temperatures are the coolest I've ever seen in the Radeon series;
IDLE Comparison: 4850 => 40 °, 6850 => 35 °, 6950 => 38 °, 7950 => 41 °
I vacillate ..deswegen and due to the acceptable price between 4 and 5 star, are no half, ie 5!

ps: 32 instead of 16GB RAM achieved at me again about 2-4 FPS more)
