GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6970 GV-R697D5-2GD-B Video Card with Eyefinity
Cons:
No water blocks for it yet. Can't change the voltages. LONG card.
Pros: Very fast, pretty quiet, nicely overclock able. Comment:
I bought this to replace 3 4870's in xfire.This card KILLS them.It's a very long card, and barely had room to get it into the case.I've been able to get the core to 930mhz stable. I've not been able to get it higher.I can't change the voltage. I read somewhere they've locked it as part of a card feature so they can down clock the card if it over heats. Kinda dumb if you ask me.There's a small switch on the top of the card for flashing.Runs everything i can throw at it no problem. |
upgrading from 2 6870's to 2 of these, for my core i7 rig i had built a while ago. looking at the reviews this is above the gtx 570 except there is no physx support for ati. really hoping that these cards will be good for atleast a year until my newest build (ivy bridge or bulldozer)
