Seen below, the incoming Tahiti-based card makes use of Military Class III components (Hi-c CAP, SFC, Solid CAPs) and has an oversized PCB, 14+2-phase digital power, a Twin Frozr IV dual-fan heatsink, a backplate, and something called a GPU Reactor. The R7970 Lightning also features 2048 Shader Units, a 384-bit memory interface, 3 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, Eyefinity 6 support, plus two DVI and four mini DisplayPort outputs. The card's clocks, price tag and release date have yet to be revealed but should be exposed soon.

I had twin frozr 2 on my 5850's and they were pretty quiet with a well breathing case .

So lets wait till it hits the market and someone pushes the fans to 100%

This looks great... I'd like to get a 7970 in a few months. This one is awesome looking. I've got 2 560ti Twin Frozr II's right now and they're serving me quite well.
