PowerColor HD7970 Overclocking & Eyefinity Review

Up Close

The PowerColor HD7970 certainly comes well packaged. The code for Dirt 3 resplendent upon some eco-friendly undyed cardboard.

      

With a reference design card there isn’t much new to say. Thankfully although we’re starting off with things you’re aware of, it does perk up immensely from the next page onwards.

      

The PowerColor follows the AMD reference with an 8pin and 6pin PCIe combination to provide the necessary power. Given that we now know how incredible the performance of the HD7970 is, it’s nice that this is all the power it requires.

      

Similar to the VTX3D, the PowerColor retains the standard output options of twin DisplayPort, HDMI and a DVI. All fairly standard fare, and we’re sure that by the end of the fourth of these HD7970 reviews you’ll be able to recite it all along with us.
