No, because you still need the upper limit of the power to increase the clocks.

Just reducing the voltage by 50mv on mine netted me 4% more performance, upping the power limit 15% can net you a chunk more and beyond that you can still pump the clocks by 300 Mhz.
Its a shame they have locked the memory overclocking, i suspect its something to do with them only having 18 Gb/s memory IC's to begin with, i get the feeling the IMC on these GPU's aren't capable of much more and some of them might not be 100% stable at their stock 20 Gb/s, these GRE cards might be failed IMC RMA's and all they have done is put slower memory IC's on them.
However on the core and power limits they clock much the same way as the rest of the 7000 series line up and with that you can still get more than 10% added performance from doing so.

Has there been any announcement on when these are available today as I'm curious how disappointing the UK prices will be? A bit of research suggests some of the smaller cards will fit my case so one of these could be a contender.
Nope, usual time would be 2pm, as for pricing allegedly around £519, but as we know with retailers they love to take the ****.

Wow some of those are a bargain
Really gutted I'd just bought a 7800XT recently

88 Degrees C hotspot apparently, these things need a good cooler.
Maybe 88 is fine - I honestly don't know?

Summer yes, Winter no.

Yep pricing is all over the place - looks like 7800XT and everything below needs a slight price cut, otherwise why wouldn't you get a 7900GRE rather than a 7800XT

Price doesn't seem bad at at all - but really it just highlights how odd AMD's naming has been for this 7000 series.
Looks like there has been price cuts to the 7800XT and 7700XT in the US so I wonder if those will cuts will eventually come across too.

Seems fine from the reference reviews, runs quiet as well which is a plus.
