Sapphire HD 6970 and AMD HD 6950 review

Post by Drakonis »

Hardware
There has been much confusion surrounding AMD’s HD 6000 series GPUs and where they fit into the grander scheme of things. The HD 6800 cards are designed to be mainstream cards delivering performance similar to the previous generation but for less money and using less power.

I think the title should be: Sapphire HD 6970 and AMD HD 6950 review.

I just confused Brett by editing the front page and forum before he could see the problem.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

Which GPU is it that can be upgrade simply by flashing a new BIOS? Wasn't it the 6950? That card is in the sweet spot.
