Radeon 5970 Overclocking: The VRM Temperature Bottleneck

[LedHed]

Also, comparing a 295 to a 5970 is laughable. Try comparing a 295 to a 5870 instead. They have about the same performance but the 5870 costs less, doesn't have multi-gpu issues, dumps less heat, consumes less power, overclocks higher, also has 4 VRM phases, and software voltage control - not to mention supports DX11, etc.

tell me another GPU with dual GPU on a single card that was made within a year of the 5970. No body said it was a perfect comparison, but it's the closest one we have right now. You can't compare the 295 with the 5870 because a dual GPU card produces more heat, this is why I compared the 295 to the 5970. There just aren't any other cards out to compare to that are dual GPU besides the 295; I guess you could also compare it to the 4870X2, but we know how hot they got also.
