The HD 6670 is a bit of a funny model for us. Normally it's the kind of model we'd look at once when it launches and then not pay too much attention to it since our launch coverage would cover pretty much all you need to know about it.

Already so impressed with what the MARS II has to offer, we knew what had to be done. Using GPU Tweak, the overclocking software that replaced ASUS SmartDoctor, it was time to see just what kind of overclocking performance could be had from the new MARS II from ASUS. I'm expecting good things from the card to be honest. For starters, the cooler is just massive on the card and we already know it does a fantastic job of cooling the two GTX 580 cores present. With the help of that cooler, we're hoping that we'll get some good breathing room on the cores.

Le renouveau. Voici un sujet passionnant, à la limite du sujet philosophique lors de l’épreuve, tant redoutée, du BAC. Ne vous inquiétez pas, vos fermiers préférés ne se sont pas transformés en philosophes grecs avec un paréo, non, loin de là. Nous avons simplement suivi l’envie de vous tous, celle qui souhaitait voir de nouveaux benchmarks. Nous vous annonçons donc l’arrivée de bons gros jeux, en plus du passage obligé chez Futuremark, on parle de Crysis 2, Dirt 3 et Total War Shogun 2.

Depuis le lancement en milieu d'année de la GTX 560 basée sur le redoutable GF114 du caméléon, le marché haut de gamme des cartes graphiques est quelque peu en sommeil en attendant l'avènement de nouveaux procédés de fabrication et des GPU qui les emploieront. Comme souvent, cette transition s'avère difficile ce qui retarde d'autant les nouveaut&eacu te;s prévues par les deux adversaires. Toutefois, nVIDIA a décidé de sortir de cette léthargie en annonçant une carte un peu spéciale, la GeFORCE GTX 560 Ti dotée de 448 Cuda Cores. Comment diable est-ce possible sachant que le GF114 des GTX 560 n'en compte que 384 ? Eh bien en remplaçant tout simplement ce dernier par un GF110, reprenant la même configuration que le GF100 de feu la GTX 470. Cette carte "Edition Limitée" n'est pas destinée à perdurer mais plus vraisemblablement à écouler une partie du stock de GPU haut de gamme avant le lancement de son successeur l'année prochaine, s'agit-il pour autant de la bonne affaire de cette fin année pour les gamers impénitents ?

Not too many people have over $500 to spend on a video card, but for those fortunate to be able to there are there are a fair number of options to pick from. When it comes to spending that much money on a video card there are two companies you'll want to take a closer look at: ASUS and EVGA. The cards sent to Legit Reviews for review were the ASUS MATRIX GTX580 1536MB (P/2DIS/1536MD5) and EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Classified 3072MB (3G-P3-1588-AR).

We all knew that AMD were going to launch the 7000 series graphics cards, but not many anticipated that it would be quite this soon, with AMD bringing the date forward from the 9th January 2012 to 22nd December 2011.
By AMD bringing the date forward, the major downside to this is that it doesn't give us much time as writers to get you the very best content possible, as we have to aim to test the card to its full capacity in a limited time frame, so that we're ready for launch.
That aside, we are pleased to tell you that the 7000 series is here, or at least the 7970 is, with a reference design, while 7950 and 7970 partner cards will still be launched on 9th January 2012, so be sure to look out for that one. Not a lot of information was leaked about the 7970, but if previous card launches were anything to go by, we had a feeling that this could go horribly wrong and we say that for two main reasons. Generally when AMD launch a graphics card, they forget a vital thing, and that is to actually have the cards to launch. That involves making sure the reviewers have the cards, and so that stock is plentiful in stores and sadly this has happened again, but without digressing too much, we find one major flaw that tends to hiccup every time; rebadging.
When we've seen cards launch before, we've typically seen a bit of a rehash of an older card, much like we saw with the 5770/6770 and 5850/6850 and generally when they have launched, the performance has been slightly worse, so you can understand our downward view when we heard about the 7970.
From looking at the architecture however, it does seem that this card is a little bit different with a completely new GPU core and new technologies to back it up, and I can honestly say, from a first glance, it does seem as though AMD are learning from their mistakes.
The new GPU, codenamed "Tahiti" is part of the "Southern Islands" range of graphics cores and is now currently dubbed as their flagship graphics card with the 7970. Other cards are due to be released in the near future and with January 9th becoming ever so close to the present, we should see the 7970 being customised with different coolers and unique overclocks, but for now, let's take a look at the reference Radeon 7970 from AMD.

Today we're moving over to a HIS HD 7970 video card and since it follows the reference design and MSI have just released a new version of Afterburner that allows voltage adjustment on the new HD 7970, we figured it was time to see how the overclocking capabilities of the new card is.
Before we cover the overclocking ability, the first thing we need to do is take a closer look at the package HIS has going on before we move in closer to the card itself. Once that's done we'll check out the specifications and how we went with overclocking. Then as always we get into the testbed and of course check out the performance of the card.
