Not sure if anyone has seen this yet. But apparently there is a way to determine the quality of your 7970 core as measured by AMD.

Basically the lower voltage your card needs to run at stock points to the better core. Which I guess is obvious but if you want to know why you are hitting OC walls or unable to maintain clocks at voltages others are achieving then it has to do with this.
