ATI Radeon™ HD 5970
Technology takes a trip down the fast lane with the XFX ATI Radeon™ 5970 graphics card. The fastest dual GPU-on-a-PCB card on the planet, this powerhouse also comes in a "I've-never-seen-that-kind-of-speed-before" Black Edition. Powered by two brutally fast GPUs and 3200 stream processors, the 5970 delivers shockingly fast frame rates and is supported by the most robust advanced feature set available today, including support for up to three displays with ATI Eyefinity technology. Created for the true performance enthusiast, the 5970 offers the ultimate in speed, performance, energy efficiency and support.
Now bundled with an XFX exclusive OverVolt Tool. Take charge of the GPU and memory voltages with an exclusive performance enhancing tool only available for use with the XFX HD 5970 Black Edition. With this tool, you can give your GPU performance an increase of up to 30%.* Product registration required to access this tool and the power to fine tune the voltage settings and unleash the performance limits.
*The HD 5970 Black Edition ships with default GPU and memory clocks set at 725 MHz and 4.0 GHz respectively. It's overclock performance will depend on the graphics card, other system components, and may also be affected by environmental conditions.
