More expensive than 6950

Doesn't overclock any better than other 6870s
(other 6870s around $168 now)

performs much worse than 6950

SILVER award!

I find their review very odd.

That card is hugely overpriced considering you can get the Gigabyte Windforce 6950 for $237 OR better yet the Sapphire HD6950 2GB for $233.

Reviews are amusing when you see this sort of stuff.

Not good value, IMO. They did mention that in the review, but didn't seem to account for it in the end.

I've seen people recommend the SOC's just because they have 3 fans. LOL
