@chiney like you now get him bro

[Chiney]

Yeh dred!

Dude. 2 nvidia gtx295 in quad sli wants nothing with this. Keep guessing :p

[Ronaldo95163]

Can you give us another hint ATI or nVidia?

I'll take a few guesses

GTX 590
GtX 580
ATI 6970

[salvation4U]

nah no hints

I knew it was not a geforce 295gtx because i only seeing one DVI port and not 2

So I have to say it is an ATI dual gpu card due to the location of the DVI port(2) (and of course the 2cores)..

I assume it has 1 or 2 dvi/vga i cant see the 2nd and hdmi ports and is definately a HD6000 series

Kinda hard to say which model by just the underneath


Is definitely a ati cause i knw what a nvidia looks like ...gd luck with the drivers..

A 590 is freaking $5000 3gb nobody is smart enough to buy that

[STORM1234]

whatever it is it's dual gpu solution in a single card, 4gb of gddr5, 256bit.

my guess is that it's a 6990

if u look at the video below @5:49 the yellow sticker is at the same location and same shape as well, plus screw loc's match as well.

^Its the 6990!

[salvation4U]

he want us to believe it is a 6990...dont be fooled

wait

It is a radeon 6990


I humbly bow in your presence

[salvation4U]

a 6990 is similar to the gtx590 but it cost a little less, uses less power...has eyefinity.. has more memory 4gb but if money wasnt a problem gtx590 but a 6990 is nice though

[Chiney]

it is the VisonTek 6990

as a matter of fact, it IS faster than the nvidia gtx 590, because they were both in my cart and well after 2 days of nothing but dual gpu reviews, AMD has done it yet again with their dual cpu cards.. only time the gtx 590 tries a thing on the 6990 is where heavy tessellation and phys-x is present, i got a dedicated nvidia GPU for that...so..... i am good to freaking go! as well i am considering 2 of these for eyefinity reasons...

this card will also be water cooled.

the ting feels like an entire pc in your hands!.......

[salvation4U]

^^that my friend is awesome

[Chiney]

i know dread.. i jus have a waiting game, my other parts are still in transit

sold off my last rig to upgrade

Lewee hear what framerates yuh getting when yuh setup this killer! Also, ah know what yuh talking about with the weight chiney..... when i first held my 6950 i was shocked..... i was only holding it in my hand for a good half hour before i put it in the system . with that dual gpu, i thinking it have some more weight in it.

BTW AMD making some changes for good/bad..... i hoping they ain't easing up any pressure on intel

^^ hmmmm.. nice read!!

will get screenshots as they become available

Weyz men jumping out...wish I could afford one of those right now. Two of these is real pace, a 6 monitor setup would be fackin sweet. Bit too much for me tho, aiming for one of those or a crossfire 6950/6850, & a 3 monitor setup & I'll be contented.

^^ pics of it when u start and finish!

Ya know I hada buss up men eye ,lol

2 twin frozr II 6870 will push alot of heat in case or on eachother???
im looking to buy another 6870 but i not sure which to get.... i have 1 twin frozr II already
case- coolermaster cm690II advanced

[Ronaldo95163]

GTX 560 2win

[Chiney]

thing about those twin frost cards, they push air/heat outward from the card, not out the back. you will need to have a good intake at the back of them ( hdd side, 2 120mm shud deal with that ), then have a good exhaust to extract that head one time.

i have a 140 hdd side and 140mm to side pannel.. dual 140mm at top also.. side could have take another 140mm but D14 wont allow that.. i might buy a regular 6870 instead of another twin frozr II den

[Chiney]

to being with, i would not have purchased the twin frost. but whats done is done.

i am goin to WC my 6990 and leave the 6970 with stock cooler.... the 6990 is VERY loud...

VERY

[jumpkickjoe]

^^^msi afterburner.....create some fan/temp points, but then again, if the load is really high, the fan will ramp up to match the temps

played around with it and my 6950 fan at 100%.....sounded like a frickin harrier ready to take off

[speedaholic]

any GPU with a cylindrical fan blade willl tend to make more noise than a GPU with the standard fan blades...but the clindrical blades push ways more air..!!

[Chiney]

^ that is factual, but damn.

[jumpkickjoe]

came across this thread on overclock.net with regards to using either the h80 or h100 for cooling and respective cases.......

[Chiney]

^ great, all they need to do now is make a cooler for video cards
