Check it out. Overclocked to 950MHz quite easily. With some more volts it will go higher still.

What a beast of a card.

That's monsterous power consumption, almost to the point where the heatsinks don't look like they should ever be able to handle that sort of power.

Guess AMD wants to be in the griller business too...

 

[Udgnim]

wow that's quite the increase in power consumption compared to the 5970

It's a cool piece of hardware. The 4gig 5970 toxic seems a bit more "polished" a piece, though. Both use too much power for the improvement over the stocker, IMHO.
