Can somebody please tell me the difference between these two cards?

[Akagi]

Unless i am being blind, the only differences i can see are the name and the price...

7970 Vapor-X GHZ

7970 Toxic GHZ

Unless the Vapor-X is 3GB not 6GB and OC have got the product title and description wrong of course.

 

[sin]

both 6gb cards

 

[Akagi]

The description and price of the Vapor-X suggest that it is the 3GB model, but the title and specifications suggest that it is the 6GB model...

Sapphire HD 7970 TOXIC can boost to 1100

Sapphire HD 7970 VAPOR-X can boost to 1050

both are 6gb

vapor-x
2 x Mini-DisplayPort
0 x Single-Link DVI-D
1 x HDMI (with 3D)
Dual-Link DVI-I

Default:1000/1050(Boost) / EZ Boost:1050/1100(Boost) MHz Core Clock
2048 x Stream Processors
28 nm Chip

Toxic
2 x Mini-DisplayPort
1 x Single-Link DVI-D
1 x HDMI (with 3D)
DisplayPort 1.2
Dual-Link DVI-I

Default: 1050/1100(Boost)/ Lethal Boost: 1100/1200(Boost) MHz Core Clock MHz Core Clock
2048 x Stream Processors
28 nm Chip

So 'lethal boost' mode, addition factory oc and different outputs.

Given the different outputs.. maybe a different pcb design. Idk, this is just the summary from sapphire.

The Toxic has a higher core speed, slightly faster RAM and the ominous "Lethal Boost Button", presumably adds 100MHz to the core

e: beaten like a flame haired child of a previous relationship

look at the Features Sapphire HD 7970 VAPOR-X GHZ says 6gb

 

[Akagi]

the description suggests that it is 3gb though... Those minor differences don't really mean it should cost £40 more xD i don't understand why the two variations even exist... why not just have one....

 

[Rusty0611]

Question is, why?

If those differences are correct, then the picture for the 'toxic' is wrong.

There has been a copypasta error perhaps?

perhaps. I always find that copypasta tastes nowhere near as good as freshly cooked pasta
