![]() ![]() Voltage Pictures, producers of movie Hurt Locker attempted to use a reverse class action tactic to extort hundreds of millions in 'settlement' claims aka extortion demands over alleged 'losses' due to 'piracy' - something that has never and can never, be quantified and proved. Then there are other milder factory overclocked cards apart from the Atomic there's Toxic 3G, and VaporX 3G, both packing impressive out of the box clock speeds. While 4 Gbit GDDR5 chips don't exist, we expect Sapphire to be using 24 * 2 Gbit chips on this card, with twelve sets of two chips sharing 32 bit paths. While this card sticks to AMD reference clock speeds, it packs a whopping 6144 MB of video memory, all wired to a single GPU. This card is said to have six mini-DP connectors. The Flex variant typically features a flexible display output configuration. The other card that caught our eyes is codenamed "FLEX 6G". It packs blistering clock speeds of 1335 MHz core, with 5735 MHz (1433 MHz actual) memory. One can guess that the "RX" is an air-cooled card, and the "WC" a water-cooled one. Among these, the top-of-the-line cards are codenamed "Atomic RX" and "Atomic WC". To begin with, Sapphire plans no less than six non-reference Radeon HD 7970 models apart from the vanilla AMD reference design card. A confidential company document revealing the non-reference models Sapphire has in the works, got leaked to the web, and it is a bundle of surprises. It looks like AMD's claims of HD 7970's extreme overclocking capabilities weren't the usual PR hoopla. There's no word of the pricing or clock speeds. It's not likely that red color PCB will be standard among AIB-branded retail cards, because the HIS and MSI cards pictured by OCUK recently, were found to have black-colored ones. ![]() ![]() Gigabyte also has a reference-design graphics card, which uses a reference-design cooling assembly, and most likely also a reference design PCB, except that it's colored red. The cooler makes use of a combination of heatsinks and aluminum fin arrays to which heat from the GPU, memory, and VRM is fed by copper heat-pipes, and ventilated by three fans. Its Ultra Durable VGA+ PCB makes use of 2 oz copper layer for better electrical stability and heat distribution, ferrite-core chokes, low RDS (on) MOSFETs, hand-picked high-performance GDDR5 memory chips, etc. ![]() Made by Gigabyte, the GV-R797OC-3GD is a factory-overclocked graphics card, which makes use of a custom Ultra Durable VGA+ PCB by the company, and a custom-design triple-fan WindForce cooler. Here is the first picture of a non-reference design Radeon HD 7970 graphics card. ![]()
