Cool. Look at all that circuitry on the backside of the card. It really is impressive the amount of technology in these cards.

It looks like AMD is going with a brute force approach. They probably have to as the real goal of this card is to take the performance crown from nVidia.

I'm going to put this out there, if you're going to order the OEM model of a card get Sapphire. PowerColor's higher end cards are decent enough and they've been around with AMD for a long time. I still rank PowerColor's basic cards higher than Diamond & Visiontek.

I think the brands Powercolor, Visiontek, & Diamond are all one and the same or at the very leased they are all in bed with each other to some degree however I have nothing to back my opinion up on this one but my oh my do they ever look exactly the same. I will never by Powercolor product again purely based on they in fact they flooded the market with defective 6870 cards without sending a mass recall or at the very leased owning up to it.
 
LOL

That thing is a tank. The red light on the back reminds me of my PSU. It has the exact same kind of light on the rear of it.

You might want to have something to reference that claim to besides you got a defective card. That's a mighty tall claim.

I believe that's a red button on the back. I seem to recall they made a 6970 that had the bios switch located on the back like that before.
 
Are the issues with crossfire only relevant for multimonitors or are there still issues with single displays?

I am interested because i only have a 30 inch panel but on [H] its apparently a known fact that SLI support is leaps and bounds better than Crossfire. Im just not sure about that with single monitor setups.
 
Actually crossfire scaling is still better than SLI. There are some titles that are popular benchmarks that crossfire doesn't work with. Batman AC and Skyrim, are two in particular. It makes it look like crossfire has major issues. You need to look at some reviews and see how it does in games you care about.

You would be wrong there. PowerColor and Sapphire use the same factory. So as far as manufacturing standards go, they are the same. I have owned and installed many PowerColor products, and I have not had a single failure. PowerColor has absolutely nothing to do with Diamond or Visiontek. Saying they are in bed together is kind of laughable. Diamond merged with S3 back in '99, and was later bought by Best Data (Which explains Diamonds quality issues). Visiontek mostly rebrands products as their own. Don't know much about them otherwise.

Just because you got a bad card does not mean every card the company ships is bad. They would go out of business in very short order if that was the case.
