Nice idle temp, and where's the 8x 12cm fan? Is it all reside at side panel?
Please post the GPU Folding temp if possible, or any game that can stress that thing to the max will be nice

LOL... was wonder why I can't access techpowerup, they're under maintenance >.<"
So GTX580 is on par with HD5970? How about power consumption?

About ~25% only, there's no 50% increment, well maybe for some games that rely on nVidia optimized architecture (correct me)?
Anyone know about HD6970 release date? AMD always so secretive one.

Worth the holding if it can beat the 2010 best single-GPU currently hold by nVidia GTX580, beat it kao kao!! and then lower the price, LMAO. See the nVidia GTX580 buyer really facepalm kao kao xD"

Uhh... just a little higher than GTX480 which is expected but to come only close to GTX580, >.<" cannot beat it still... but... but.... gonna wait for some released reviews to conclude it, yes~~

6870 basically is to replace 5770, so no, 6970 is still single-gpu to replace 5870 in high-end arena.
Performance wise I can't say 6970 will be twice 6870 tho... but who knows... wait and see.

Yeah yeah what a waste to get BE processor and yet not doing any OC.
Just buy the Phenom II x4 with higher frequency even better.

Took me few minutes to find the 10.10e hotfix >.<"

Is this the link? though I'm not using the AMD card, just want to ask favor to put this in the front page (if it's the correct link) to make others newbie's life like me easier.
Anyway, the AMD forum's moderator confirmed the 10.11 version is only fixes for the HD5000 series, 10.12 will support HD6000.

Kinda confusing no wonder less people going AMD for this reason.

Ah, some word wrongly used, sorry.
Should have been "some" users.

I haven seen any obvious PhysX comparison except for Mirror Edge, the environment is some added beauty in them.
Wait till ray-tracing brought into gaming, now that's real deal

Depends on condition, artifact might be caused by overheating (your previous issue) or bad RAM (unrepairable), you can try FurMark to see if it fail you again.

LMAO, the heatsink definitely not appeal to some, but for those who want near silent case for HTPC, etc.
Doubt many Malaysian will take this unless they have a darn good case or a darn good air-cond room

+2, HAF-X FTW!!! (opps, the money is spend somewhere else to make it cooler )

I believe you can except you sacrifice 2 or 3 HDD space for that, your HDD will need to put at bottom part, which I think only 1 or 2 HDD space left.
If XFire... lol.. buy 4-in-3 module to put your HDD at your ODD space (sacrifice 3 ODD space for 4 HDD space).

Hope this help.

Or you can use ruler to measure your chassis space to see if it has at least 10.5" long, the HD6870 has ~10.1".

Should zerorating correct then HD6950 should be around RM1,100++
HD6970 RM1,1417++
If HD6970 place same price with GTX580, which is RM1,600 (lowest can be found right now)
then HD6950 should be around RM1,200++

If HD6950 is RM1,500, then buying 2 HD6870 is much worth since HD6970 only 50% faster (according to rumor).

I can say no worries to AMD pricing, they're very competitive, always and should be always considered value.
With its improving tech, I think some will divert from green to red

I guess AMD goes green and value, and nVidia went all the way to the top performance but ate the hell out of your pocket, haha...

Just do a simple search "hd6970" or "hd6950" at "trade zone" already got his thread easily...

Latest NFS Hot Pursuit isn't as resource hunger as NFS Shift, even my 9600GT able to do High settings without AA smooth at 1080p. I think the NFS rely more on CPU of which a normal C2D can do just fine.
And COD4, I can only goes mid settings, which is already quite good consider a low-end 9600GT

Fast fast Diablo 3 out then I might grab HD6950, LOL @ my friend's RM1399 HD5870 bought in October.
