Just recently we were given some exciting news. We found out that it was possible to flash the HD 6950 with a HD 6970 BIOS and in turn make your $299 HD 6950 a $369 HD 6970, and really we don't have to tell you how cool that would be.
Just the other day I talked about how the video card market has been quiet lately and all of a sudden it seems we have a surge of video cards from companies. The latest card to arrive is from Sapphire and comes in as part of the much loved TOXIC series which has served us well in the past.
Like the previous Dirt game, Dirt 2, the latest iteration from Codemasters, Dirt 3, is another big release for AMD. While maybe not quite as big as the second one which saw the implementation of DirectX 11, one would argue that this one could be even bigger because of the rave reviews the game has received, making it not only a game that looks good, but also a game that's good to play.
The AMD Radeon 6950 is a card which has been available for nearly 7 months but that doesn't seem to be stopping manufacturers from tweaking the design to suit their needs and one of the latest to do so (again) is Sapphire. In the form of a custom PCB, custom cooler model with a bundle designed to please even the most demanding consumers we have the Sapphire Radeon 6950 DiRT 3 Edition.
Graphic cards
AMD released the 6950 graphics card quite some time ago, but it's still one of the best selling cards around as it gives customers great performance for a reasonable price. From time to time, some partners bundle games or certain software with their cards to give something extra to their buyers.
The GTX 560 Ti is a killer card and at launch we saw some companies do some fantastic things with the model when it came to overclocks. This is great for you the consumer, but for AMD and its partners, not so great. The HD 6950 offers great performance, but with 2GB of GDDR5 the price of the card is higher than the GTX 560 Ti which carries with it only 1GB of GDDR5. Personally, I thought it was a mistake for AMD to push 2GB models of the card, as it means prices are higher and if the past has told us anything, it brings little gains when compared to its 1GB counterparts.
„Wer eine Grafikkarte um die 200,- Euro sucht, wird um die Radeon HD 6950 nicht herum kommen. Dieses Modell wurde erstmals Dezember 2010 vorgestellt, was mittlerweile mehr als ein halbes Jahr her ist. Trotzdem hat diese Karte nicht an Glanz verloren und ist in der genannten Preisklasse sehr beliebt. Was sich seit der Veröffentlichung verändert haben, sind die verfügbaren Kühler-Modelle, die von den verschiedensten Herstellern angeboten werden. So auch von Sapphire, die neben dem Referenz-Kühler auch eine "FleX" und "Dual Fan Edition" mit Dual Lüfter anbieten. Diese beiden Grafikkarten-Modelle möchten wir euch in einem Kurztest näher vorstellen.“
One of the more recent enhanced 6870 versions to hit the market is Sapphires Vapor-X model. It features a custom PCB and enhanced cooler to make it stand out from the crowd and that, combined with Sapphires TriXX utility for overclocking and voltage increases means we have a very interesting product on our test bench today.
Nach unserem Test der Radeon HD 6850 Toxic aus dem Hause Sapphire, freuen wir uns darauf ihre große Schwester, die Radeon HD 6870 Toxic, bei uns auf Radeon3D.org auf Herz und Nieren testen zu können. Sapphires Radeon-Grafikkarten mit dem Kürzel "Toxic" stehen schon seit je her für besondere 3D-Beschleuniger. Denn mit einem eigens designten PCB, einer aufwendigeren und besonders Ohren schonenden Kühlung gepaart mit sehr guten Overclocking-Eigenschaften konnten diese Karten bisher in der Regel auf einen echten Mehrwert gegenüber den Standardmodellen bieten ohne gleich den Geldbeute des Käufers übermäßig zu strapazieren. In diesem Artikel finden wir heraus, ob Sapphire auch mit der Radeon HD 6870 der "Toxic"-Serie diese weiße Weste anbehalten kann.
Sapphire has put together another great graphics card that does sit in a niche market, but with a very good agenda. This card is geared to provide Eyefinity to the masses and does so with enough performance to actually make a multi-display setup worthwhile to build.
