Yer not trying to be anti AMD/ATI but this 6000 series seen alot problems hardware wise on forums and stuff just makes me wonder

will try for a refund tbh , although the gave me nearly the same framerate in fc2 as my crossfired 5870's used to
still plan to go crossfired 6970's but i have got to be sure these cards are not room heaters first lol
though why 6970 ?
It's thermal compound![]()
Maybe its because I live In Cali but Umm why didn't anybody say " regardless of sound issues playing games with your gpu fans at/or below %50 fan speed under load is asking for trouble again regardless if the heat sink was loose or not ( I know this from reading literally thousands of posts on several sites)2 Why does everybody on this site compare the 6000 series with the 570/580 Nvidia, the series title is a misnomer everybody that read anything before and after the launch (untill recently for reasons I Have no idea why)That even with the higher numbering on the series they were meant as a new midrange/series not a true successor to the 5000 series they were rumored to have a completely new GPU design which never happened they just used the same core with a few things tweeked and took off some transistors Now again its great they crossfire better but if you look at the specs their lower enough to matter I have seen this on several sites but its never mentioned here really. But I'm glad you fixed your card![]()

Wow i was either gonna buy one of those from ebuyer or what i saw this morning which i expect tom will probably be reviewing in a few hours: an msi 6870 twin frozr, at 210 quid and strangely near identical performance in crysis and metro to the 6900 cards this may be the better buy i think. only sacrifice is the extra gig of vram and single crossfire finger
whoa 6850-6870-6950-6970
Correct me if I'm wrong the extra ram is for higher res on larger monitors and multi displays right?
yes we need one of toms thorough reviews 4 of these is to much for my grey matter
heres a better link
