But 50$s extra
, i am guessing thats the cost of the pcb updates, but more importantly is the new TF IV.
TPU OC: 1260/6400
G3D OC: 1300/5800

Yessss...AMD did a good job with their Radeon HD 7870. MSI's HD 7870 HAWK builds on that foundation and tries to create an overclocker's SKU that provides maximum performance and overclocking potential.
Thanks to the 100 MHz overclock out of the box, the HD 7870 HAWK has a 5% performance advantage over the AMD reference design. This is a decent increase, yet I would have expected more from a card like this, as there is plenty of clock headroom available. MSI's Lightning gains 8% over the respective reference design. Our manual overclocking tests confirmed that the HD 7870 HAWK overclocks very well. A maximum clock of 1260 MHz is the highest GPU clock we have ever seen in a TPU review, and is only matched by the ASUS HD 7870 Direct CU II. MSI has also included the dual BIOS feature, which is used to enable a special liquid nitrogen optimized BIOS
