the 13" macbook pro is no longer being made, so you can’t get this sustained performance in M3 and newer

thing is, people can’t seem to get much clock boost that translates into performance out of the 7900 series. 3200mhz overlocking tests doesn’t do much more than 10-15% from AIBs, and consumes 500w+

if you look at timespy results, going from 2800-3000mhz game clock to power unlimited 3500mhz (which consumes over 500W), you gain a few thousand points

time spy with a random “stockish” result and the 7900xtx overclock from here. most of the gains came from the 6.0GHz oveclock on the CPU, with graphics results only being about 12% faster with this overclock

unless i’ve missed something, it seems like the 7900 series is limited by more than power

it was faster than the 780 and literally $250 less than the MSRP of the 780 and the 780ti wouldn’t come out for quite a while
