PowerColor HD7970 X2 Devil13 Clocked Over 1 GHz and Priced

PowerColor’s Vortex III cooling system will take care of cooling the video card and your banker should take care of the funds needed to purchase the monster.

The Taiwanese video card company is reportedly planning to charge $1,200 for the PowerColor HD7970 X2 Devil13 graphics adapter in the United States. In Europe, the gamers will certainly “enjoy” a higher price of €1,200 and that’s just because they live on the Old Continent. The thing is that PowerColor is not looking for an upper limit on the TDP and heat dissipation so the HD7970 X2 Devil13 will be clocked considerably higher than the default frequency of the normal AMD Radeon HD 7970.

AMD’s reference Radeon HD 7970 has a 925 MHz default clock for the GPU, but the PowerColor HD7970 X2 Devil13 will be clocked around 1050 MHz for each of the card’s two GPUs. Techpowerup reports that the card will be available at the end of next month.
