Eyefinity, quiet fan(on auto), nice value, 2GB memory, came with Show Port adaptor (mini to DP) and an HDMI cable. Runs quite warm through gaming (I read the critiques and anticipated this) 72-76c through Far Cry two. Considering that this was expected, no eggs lost! I put this card im my backup Pc with a Lian Li Pc-A05NA case and I was concerned about the fit. The card is about 2cm longer than the width of a regular ATX motherboard, but with the power connectors on the side/top vs. back/side there was no difficulty in match and cable placement. I'm extremely pleased with this card, it is a wonderful step up from my crossfire 4870 1gb setup and Sapphire tends to make a actually good reference card.

Incredibly fast, upgraded from a 4850. The bios can nonetheless be flashed, I went via the procedure but kept it at stock clocks trigger even at base settings all games run wonderful on it. No difficulty with drivers and came with a HDMI cable at my time of acquire which I've used on an additional system. Reviewers say it's loud, but I have my case sitting a foot to my appropriate and I'm only hearing the soft hums of my case fans. No trouble installing the drivers and maxing out the 3D settings on catalyst. Still a bit pricey, want that it would've went down a bit considering that the 6990 is currently out. If your PSU is 500W or reduced, you may well have difficulty with this card. Mine is 600W but if you don't have a decent PSU, make certain you can run this card.

Very rapidly, unlocked the other cores by flashing the 6970 bios to it. So far it's taken anything I've thrown at it they don't give it to you for free of charge

The card is a lot strong enough for most applications on its own.The price tag/performance ratio is unbeatable, and with the shader unlock on the original reference cards, no cause not to get this card. Framerate drops beneath 60 fps on particular games on genuinely higher settings.To play items like WoW on full Ultra in Cities, you're superior off finding two of these in CrossFireX. I was able to unlock the other 128 shaders on this card when keeping the clocks at their factory setting.This really should alleviate some of the troubles that come with the complete unlocking of the card to 6970 specs.

Popped it in and installed latest drivers. Performs great with no issues. none yet as mentioned prior to this is a large card. I had just adequate space in my Antec 900 to run my SATA cables from 1 of DVD's to the mother board

Bios mods to a 6970 with no concerns, runs at 920mhz gpu & 1425mhz ƕ.7ghz)mem with no difficulties & with out increasing pci-e power levels. runs at 38C at idle and 61C when gaming heavy if fan speeds are left to Auto. Fan is not that loud when under standard use. None that I have discovered, this card is packed full of WIN. I have observed individuals on right here complaining about the card temps, & All I can say is your case is most likely to blame. You CAN NOT run a video card like this in a standard computer case & expect it to run cool. Fan is only loud when it is operating at 50% Plus. At 70% & up it sounds like a jet engine prepared for lift off, but that's a excellent issue as u know it will be capable to cool if need be :o)This factor has no difficulties operating UT3, GTA 4, Homefront or even Crysis two so it is a extremely great deal & it keeps the video high quality (gpu does not sacrifice top quality to obtain frames)

It's Sapphire. A fantastic, extended running firm with fantastic consumer help and outstanding warranties. As A lot of have talked about ahead of; this card is nonetheless effortlessly unlocked to a 6970 AND, thanks to a dual BIOS on the card, is very easily reversed with a flick of a switch if you managed to botch it up. None. The card is incredibly extended and has dual 6pin power connectors, so be ready for that. Seriously a amazing card.

I absolutely adore this card. Runs cool, quiet and doesnt use a lot of power. Incredibly lengthy (thats what she said) My preceding setup included quad sli utilizing two BFG 9800 GX2's. They have been power hungry beasts that under no circumstances actually scaled extremely nicely. Whilst operating 3dmark vantage my method was pulling 620 watts of power. They scored 23000 3dmarks. With this undesirable boy im only pulling 282 watts, and I scored 20115 3dmarks. Ive gotta say, its a winner!

Excellent video card.Less expensive that a 6970 and use similar hardware, just need to have to flash the BIOS and take not even 5min to do so. Dual BIOS switch is fantastic also so if there a challenge with the flashing within 10min you are back to the original BIOS. Fan @ 50% make more noise that my 5 other fans Ɠx120mm and 2x80mm) in the computer system. At one hundred% It's just not tolerable anymore.

Unlocks to a 6970 - growing its value by far more than 贄.00Runs Crysis at maximum settings with great FPS Really a major card - make certain it fits in your case. I in fact had to invest like two hours attempting to jam this in my Rosewill Thor case. (This is far more of the crummy case's fault, although.) Just bear in mind to only unlock the 6970 shaders (don't just just flash the 6970 BIOS). This can screw up the card. If you Google it, there'll be some forums explaining how to do this.

Comment:
Runs all I got at max settings with no lag or stuttering therefore far. It's huge, so maintain that in thoughts prior to you buy it. Place this in my first build, and it hasn't disappointed, no problems. Make sure you have the energy to run it.

Awesome card! Out of the box it chews it all up. A lot of individuals are flashing these to 6970 BIOS which is cool, but beware the memory timing distinction among the two cards. Some persons have permanently damaged their 6950's, even though other individuals experience no difficulties. You can do just the shader unlock and it is mighty safer than a complete blown 6970 BIOS flash. Either way, even stock this card is baller. I'm absolutely going to crossfire two of these to make positive I'm Battlefield three/Skyrim prepared. None at all. Sapphire does a excellent job on their chips. Ready to get another!

- Quick as hell- Amazing aesthetic- Unlocked in 5 minutesI run seriously old games like BF2, CoD four, WoW and EVE On-line, as effectively as emulate older console games and this card is amazing for all of those @ 2560x1600 res. I'm replacing a 9800 GT which could barely run CoD four and now its maxed out with 90 average FPS. No complaints at all. Now I can get into some newer games lol.* I'm obtaining an situation with my DVI-D cable and HP LP3065 monitor where theres green artifacting. Any person else obtaining this issue? Every thing is up to date driver-smart so I believe I'll have to get a new cable. Thoughts? (None) - Large, match in Antec 300 case by milimeters- Temps wont display for GPU on Speedfan

This card unlocked to 6970 in five mins which includes reboot.Stays somewhat cool.Gets around 19000 points on 3DMarkVantage2GB is wonderful of eyefinityTrixx Software is good for setting appropriate fan curves Not 100% stable immediately after unlocking AND overclocking. Unlocked and kept at stock 6970 speeds its one hundred% steady. Bump those speeds up to 940 core and 1450 mem, and i dont last mroe than an hour or so.Also a con that voltage manage is disabled in every little thing immediately after unlocking. Wow.... this card just about beats my 3x4870 set up.

These cards worked excellent for me as long as they did. I had them installed in my system for 1 day. I was in the middle of enjoying a very good game Civ V, the personal computer shuts down and flames start out shooting out of the video card vapor chamber! I hate to picture how negative it would have been if I wouldnt have been there to place it out. Also, if i didnt have a clear side panel to see the flames, the damage to the rest of the personal computer. I anticipated to at least acquire a response from Sapphire but, no response. They have no way to call them either. I had two of these cards. I am sending each back. Only one caught fire but, i dont want the exact same issue to come about once again. Remain away from this card!

*One of the fastest single GPU cards on the industry. There are faste but for the price you can't beat this.*Despite what alot of individuals say I think ATI drivers are fantastic. I play ALOT of games and have yet to run into an concern that was driver connected.*Can be unlocked to a 6970.*Price. As I stated earlier, for the value this card screams. *This card is HOT. At idle loads it sits about 50C. Beneath complete load this issue can and WILL hit 90C. Correct now I don't even dare unlock it to a 6970 as it already has heat difficulties. I had to pull the side off my case and run my computer with a massive fan blowing suitable at it just to keep it from overheating.*If you like peace and quiet, DO NOT get this card. It sounds like a jet when the fan is cranking. Also ever because the day I got it this point has made these wierd buzzing noises everytime it is becoming employed in games. It appears to get greater pitched and lower pitched as I move the camera about in games like Champions Online and Rift. Plus now with the fan I have blowing on the pc, my computer space sounds like a single major fan. A excellent card in terms of performance. I have thrown every single game achievable at it and it can max them all with decent framerates. My monitor only goes up to 1440x900 though so I can't say how nicely it would do at larger resolutions. I feel I am going to have to get an aftermarket colling soultion for it even though. There is no way I am going to listen to this noise regularly. Also, whilst it will not show me as a Verified Owner I do personal this card. My buddy ordered it off his credit card so I could pay it off in two month-to-month payments. This is the only Newegg item I have ever accomplished that with but it was the only way I was finding this card and it was worth it.

Appreciate the card, quickly, potent and fantastic cost. Size is a tiny big for midsize instances. It squeezes in with maybe a centimeter of space before hitting the challenging drive bays.

Comment:
The card has no issues running something I've thrown at it. I am absolutely happy with it. It's not a con, but be conscious that this card is huge. Measures 11 inches in length so make confident your situation has area.
