Sapphire HD7970

My new card is here.






AMD Radeon HD 7970 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-970 Processor ,ASUSTeK Computer INC. Rampage III Extreme score: P9088 3DMarks



"None the less, 1125 MHz on the core and 6300 MHz on the memory without any voltage tweaking has to be a new milestone all by itself. The advantage without added voltage is that the temperatures do not change that much, the noise levels remain okay and the power draw really isn't bad either."

Yes It's True.

How loud is it @ load? Is it possible to be in the same room with it when it spins up or is it anything like 6970 that all u wanna do with it is rip it out of your case and throw it out of ur window ?

So eyefinity is up n running.
First minidp to fulldp second minidp to dvi and the third output dvi to dvi and the 3xu2311 in portrait mode at 3240x1920 are ready.
The picture quality is better than 69xx series.
Fps is obviously less than my previous setup with 6970 crossfire
The card at 70c is louder than my 2xAsus DC II.
And of course the game is more smooth.







Dirt3 and F1 2010 on eyefinity resolution 3240x1920 with ingame settings at max.
First with clocks at defaults.





and now maxed clocks from ccc 1125/1575

Looks great. I am planning on getting triple 7970's on the 9th.

Is that a reference card?

[crazy1323]

I used to have two 4870's and switched to GTX480's when I got my SR-2 since ATI cards didn't work at first.

I am ready to go back to ATI. They have much better multi-monitor support and these GTX 480's dump out some serious heat.

Hmmm...wait out for the 7970+waterblock or go for eVGA GTX 580 Hydro Copper for $699.

Choices choices...my poor Rampage IV Extreme and 3930k is just sitting there, waiting to be loved....
