| The Good:
Amazing cooler, and keeps things under 66* under heavy load and oc, about 34* under normal operation. Trixx software is a great tool. Can almost get the same gains as a 7970 for a better price.
Great software bundle, alone worth about 120$ Silent under normal loads. 3GB (great for higher res monitors over 1980x1080) |
| The Squirrelly:
THREE space cooler design forced me to get rid of my old PCI sound card (xfi gamer)and spend another 120$ on a new one since it couldn't fit. POOR performer. 1050/1450 @ 1.25v = maximum stability under load, even going up creek another 25mhz caused crashes. Coil whine may get to you (not that bad) |
| Pro Tip:
Get it for the looks and longevity, not the performance. Its super disappointing that sapphire went to build such an amazing cooler for such a weak card. Don't make the same mistake I did! THREE SLOT COOLER MEANS YOU LOSE! |

| The Good:
FAST and very cool. Idling around 30c and under load have never seen it reach more than 55c. Destroys anything I throw at it. |
| The Squirrelly:
People complain about AMD drivers, but as long as you wipe any existing drivers before a fresh install, you will be fine.
People were also complaining about the weight of the card being an issue in that the PCI express slot will become damaged over time from the constant pull of gravity. I have no idea if this really is an issue or how often it actually ruins the slot, but for now, I have my case on it's side. Simple fix... |
| Pro Tip:
Make sure you have a PSU that will run this BEAST! This card draws insane amounts of power, using two 8 pin (6+2) connectors!
SuperBiiz order processing and shipping was fast! I am very pleased with the service and will happily order from here again. |

Reviewed by Blaine Reinsma from Lansing, IL US
|
| The Good:
- Looks cool
- Vapor-X cooling tech is very effective |
| The Squirrelly:
- No backplate for heavy cooler - will cause PCB to warp/sag over time.
- Random crashes and artifacts at stock clocks and volts. It's rare, but I might have to RMA it.
- ASIC quality of 63.4%. On a custom high-end card, that's pretty unacceptable. Don't listen to what AMD says about their GHz Edition cards - they do NOT get higher chip binning, as evidence by my card (and others who have also been unlucky). As a result, my card overclocks extremely poorly. Custom high-end cards should have a minimum of 80% ASIC quality. If I knew 63% was acceptable to AMD I would have saved a lot of money and gone with a standard, basic 7970, which would have had the same chances with ASIC quality. |
| Pro Tip:
Do no pay extra for customized cards, go with base versions. There are many basic 7970s that can reach higher clocks than mine for much less money. "Chip binning" is a LIE - Custom GHz Edition cards do not have ANY improved chance of good ASIC quality (lower heat production, better overclocks) over standard, bare-bones 7970s. When you can't even overclock to the point where you need Vapor X cooling, that's also a waste of money. Could have had identical performance for $80 less, regretting my decision to go for this particular model.
This is also the second AMD GPU with poor ASIC quality and terrible overclocking. Think I will start paying a little extra for Nvidia's higher-quality cards from now on.
Overall, pretty let down by this card. Had might higher expectations. Tired of the $400+ GPU market being such a luck-of-the-draw lottery. |

| The Good:
upgraded from a 5870 vapor-x oc and is such a massive improvement. struggled to run dirt 2 on 3 monitors, to running that game with much ease. boost clock is simple with the push of the button for quick performance gain.
the card's "logo" lights up, which i did not expect, as i though this was only on the Toxic variant. card is quite it too. |
| The Squirrelly:
the location of the 6/8 pins are on the side of the card, as oppose to being on the back like the 5870 had them. |
| Pro Tip:
if you order from here, make sure to look at the back of the box because this might happen to you. while the box contains a 3GB sticker on the corner, the details listed on the box explain that this is a "6GB" card with dual display ports which obviously it doesn't have. its not that big of a deal, i just found it rather interesting that this card was packaged in the wrong box. |

| The Good:
Want an Eyefinity setup but don't want to spend $100+ for the DP-to-DVI adapter? Then this adapter is what you need. It works for resolutions up to 1920x1200 (single-link DVI connection), enough for 99.9% of people who want to run Eyefinity. |
| The Squirrelly:
The setup may be a little confusing for some people. When I first plugged my monitors in, only two monitors came on although CCC showed three, with the one monitor's specs (plugged into DVI) not detected. I finally cloned my first monitor (on Displayport) with the 'off' one and then everything worked as expected.
You may or may not experience the same issue. |
| Pro Tip:
If your Displayport monitor flashes or blinks, check your cable and its length. Because this adapter is powered by the port instead of a separate USB plug, the timing signal (generated by the adapter itself and why Displayport, which doesn't need one, was chosen by ATI/AMD for the third output) may be a little weak. A longer/inferior quality cable may just have enough resistance to attenuate it even though it may work just fine from a regular DVI port. |

2 plugs lets you get power to your lappy, plus one other device (maybe a cell phone charger).
Also it has surge protection for your network line.

Airflow is a big factor for selecting this case. Big 120mm fan in the back and plenty of room to grow / upgrade this system. Sturdy and well built. No Mod's so this is more of a work case.
