We're going to keep this short and sweet because we know all you really care about is the results. To quickly summarize exactly what we're doing here today, though, we're firing up the latest beta build of MSI Afterburner and cranking even more volts through the two GPUs that are placed on that single PCB.
We've got all our slide decks from AMD and some images from Sapphire. We'll tell you all the stuff we normally would in a video card review outside of the performance of course. Because there's so much to cover as well, it means we can get the performance article to you even faster while making sure we can cover as much information about the new dual GPU beast from AMD.
Graphic cards
The 6990 was yet ANOTHER launch from AMD that had no publicity whatsoever. Cast your mind back to the 6800 and 6950/6970 launches and i bet even then you can’t remember much about them. There’s a very good reason why, and it’s all down to AMD themselves who don’t believe in fancy, extravagant launches but yet prefer to just release a product with no big bang or anything.
Graphic cards
With lots of rumours about AMD and Nvidia releasing new cards in 2012, we find a lot of graphics card manufacturers clinching on to the life of the current cards and trying to spice things up to give a breath of fresh air to an already old card.
The 6970 isn’t exactly old, as it’s still very current, but with a fast paced industry like this one, technology is old before its even been released. This is down to the manufacturer’s starting the thought process on its sucessor already, even at the early stages, and that’s a good thing, as it keeps the tech fast moving and invites new things to be brought to the table.
Wer auf der Suche nach einer neuen Grafikkarte ist, sollte eventuell die neue Radeon HD 6970 in Betracht ziehen, denn seit dem Erscheinen fallen die Preise fast täglich. Wir haben uns die Sapphire HD 6970 etwas genauer angesehen und gegen andere Modelle antreten lassen.
So we checked out the HD 6950 already and it's time to check out the big brother to the card; the HD 6970. We left feeling a bit of mixed emotion when it came to the HD 6950; it offered great value for its price bracket, but the said price bracket doesn't really have any competition. Instead, the card sits between others.
So it's time; you've decided to take the plunge and purchase an Eyefinity setup. You've seen the videos, you've read the testimonials, and you're ready to strip the horse blinders off of your virtual alter ego. One major question remains though: how much of a beast are you going to need to drive this rig? Today we'll be looking at the Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5 Dual Fan from Sapphire, an unorthodox take on AMD's most potent single-GPU video card design to date.
Graphic cards
Graphics cards are a funny thing, because we end up with AMD and Nvidia constantly competing and releasing new models of GPU's left right and centre and then suddenly we see nothing. The only products that end up being released are revamped versions of older cards, but that's not to say they aren't any good, as that couldn't be further from the truth.
Nach drei eher schwächeren Modellen der "Flex"-Reihe bringt Sapphire nun mit der Radeon HD 6950 Flex ein deutlich leistungsstärkeres Modell auf den Markt: Neben einer Radeon HD 5670, HD 5770 und HD 6870 wurde das Sortiment um ein Modell mit AMDs Highend GPU "Cayman Pro" erweitert. Eyefinity ist bei den Referenzlayouts bis jetzt nur in Verbindung mit Monitoren, die über einen DisplayPort-Anschluss verfügen möglich. Genau an diesem Punkt setzt Sapphire mit den eigens kreierten "Flex"-Grafikkarten nun an. So können nun theoretisch drei Displays über HDMI oder DVI, die weitverbreitetsten Anschlüsse, angeschlossen werden. Falls ein Monitor mit DisplayPort dabei ist, können sogar vier Geräte gleichzeitig angesteuert werden. Wie gut sich Sapphires sehr interessante Lösung im Praxisgebrauch schlägt, wollen wir mit diesem Artikel herausfinden.
I can honestly say I wasn't 100% sure we would see this day, this year. Twelve months ago it was all about the GTX 480 which at this stage was already delayed by a month. Jump forward twelve months and the HD 6900 series which was due to come out this time last month wasn't here.
