All things considered this is a fun card to clock. Speeds ramped very well with the included ASUS software and the results scaled better than were expected. I suspect it was some magic sauce from ASUS. If the link with the cup\medal is clicked you will see on the far right other video cards that had similar scores to this card.

As can be seen this 6670 matches the nVidia 430 and 440 and is in the 450 area. As far as the sapphire brand? The price performance compared to similarly priced cards and third fastest HWBot score (http://hwbot.org/submission/2227335_) gets it a gold.

At that point lowering the GPU to 992 and memory to 1388 incrementally was the only way to stabilize the benchmark.

All things considered this is a fun card to clock. Speeds ramped up easily and the results scaled quite well with the clocks.
