You and me both! I think this is my favorite one. It's like a little city of power.

Incredible man!
That 1340mhz on air oc is real nice...
What were the clocks for the oc 680 Lightning?
Thanks for a great review and for making us jelly

680 Lightning made it to 1302MHz boost clock (here's its review by EarthDog).

Pricing has been updated by ASUS. The Platinum model is now only $10 more than the non-platinum, at $489.99. The non-platinum Matrix is still accurate at $479.99. I've asked about availability and will update when I know something.

i paid about the same for my giga oc in spring .. funny thing is i get slightly better 24/7ocs than hokie got esp on the mem side
I like how companies are keeping the 7970 relevant though imho these stock clocks are how the 7970s should have released in the first place
giving 680s a fight will keep prices moving for sure.

20 phase? Oh dear that must be the world record of the most overboosted design ever made. Although, that GPU can take some serious punch at a very fair price, so it was certainly worth it to create such a insane design. I would not be surprised if we soon see several (single GPU) world records done using a Matrix 7970.
The platinum version is probably a special pick, so it should generally OC higher than usual, stuff like that is the stuff OCer always was looking for. No hassle trying to find a good processor anymore.
