HD5970 Reviews

[SKYMTL]

ammm... you were talking about stock voltage and max clock, they talk about max voltage max clock and the impact of this on the VRM's...

You concluded AMD lied and 5870 freq are not achievable they said 5970 can achive 5870 speeds but better accurate voltage tool is required.

No. The Dnet client can begin throttling at STOCK. It doesn't take much (as Ryan noted) to push the VRMs up that additional 19°C. It bodes extremely ill for other GPGPU apps which may push things beyond what DNet does.

Part of their conclusion:

but based on how the 5970 was promoted and presented the fact of the matter is that the card can’t meet its advertised capabilities

This has been my point for the last few pages...
