    The problem isn't the power regulation or the cooling, but the fact that the chips run at way too low voltage to clock well at stock. People would claim the chip to be a "great clocker" if AMD bumped the voltage by some 0.075V, even though infact the chip itself wouldn't be any better - it would just have higher stock voltage to achieve higher clocks at stock.

    I guess Nvidia and AMD balance the stock voltage and core speed quite accurately to meet the most optimal yield/power/performance/temperature ratios, and the top bins go to low-voltage mobile products.

    Who knows, but Asus will definitely release the Voltage Tweak 69xx.

    Surely MSI AfternBurner will support them.. but when ? If the powertune "things" complicate the voltage control for them it will take a little bit more time for finish it.

    I just measured 27.5cm up to my case (antec 900), it's going to be a damn tight fit

    Edit: Luckily the power connectors are on the side of the card, otherwise i would be pretty much feked

    Agreed, but those new vapor chambers are darn good on air i can't see much beating it. so its pretty much all about liquid cooling for very high playable clocks.

    I can confirm the German results are fake.
    Well, my 6970 from Sapphire arrived.
    They've specifically gave a download exclusively to the latest drivers which truly unlock the performance, and it's beating a stock 580 in Heaven, albeit the max FPS is a little lower.

    Will a 6970 fit into this?

    That's a 5850.

    Yeah, but you're going to have to mount it vertically.

    For ease of eyes...

    Yeah it's about 11% more pixels but it looks like the 6970 would still squeak by in a direct comparison. That's at "normal" tessellation levels of course.

    as nice as a vapor chamber is, i still would go with a non exhaust only heatsink and large silent fans, since i have good internal air flow
    (actually my case has no gpu exhaust vent, lol)

    Fooled again by that wretched teneighty.

    16% quicker, but 11% less work, so 5% quicker than 580? 20% oc headroom for 580 on air? Cayman need 15% oc headroom to match? Seems doable. Fud says 275 Euro too...that would be pretty nice.

    I'm going to rest a bit now and dream a little $350 6970 dream.

    IMO can't be real... 360$ for 6970 sounds bs... extremely cheap... gtx580 gonna just die in that case... since all 6xxx series have perfect crossfire scaling.

    if true, HD 6800 will drop in price. 225€ is 6870 territory
