TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary
Staff at TestSeek has read all the expert reviews (so you don't have to) for this product and written a summary of what the editors think about the product.
AMD 6970 has come to the world to figh the NVIDIA GTX 570 and it succeeds quite well in this task. However the new AMD 6970 graphics card doesn't quite reach up to the absolute top performers. This may however change with new drivers coming out in the future. What the editors like is the relative low power consumption and the lower-than-usual noise levels (except for when in high load). Another positive feature is the possibility to connect multiple cards (more than two) via CrossFire. That one can easily revert to the standard frequencies is also good so that potential problems with overclocked cards can be easiliy fixed.

Overclocking doesn't mean real world benefits
Expensive
TestSeek's Conclusion
The AMD HD 6970 card brings many new cool things to the table; mainly its power tuning technology. The performance is very high although not yet as good as the top performing graphics cards but this may be due to the early drivers which was used in the tests.

Abstract: The HD6970 and HD6950 use the Cayman GPU. They are both built with the 40nm process, and the main difference between the two is that the HD6970 has slightly more stream processors and texture units than the HD6950, and it is also clocked slightly higher.
