SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5970 (Hemlock) DirectX 11 100280OCSR 2GB 512 (256 x 2)-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Dual GPU Onboard CrossFire Video Card w/ Eyefinity

Pros: Fast Card, Plays any game now maxed out no problems and play the little DX11 games out now really well.

Cons: Price, paid MSRP not what they are charging now.

Overall Review: This Card will fold you just need to use the command -forcegpu ati_r700 and for all the people that says this card sucks don't be mad because Nvidia is a day late and a dollar short.

Pros: Those interested in buying this card, Hands down this is the fastest Dual Gpu video card out there to this date. I have owned this for about 3 months now and this thing is FAST ! You can play any game you want Max Settings no need to worry about slow downs!

Cons: It disgusts me the amount of Nvidia fanboys that do Not own this video card and Troll around like Failures on the customer comments section to post reviews saying the 5970 is basically Junk!! and want to make it seem like the 5970 is not worth the money and it is not very fast.

Overall Review: Fast Shipping from UPS, Newegg is Awesome , The 5970 is the best video card to date. Buy with confidence do not let some Nvidia fanboy talk you down from getting the best Video card.

Pros: This replaced 2 ATI 4850's in Crossfire mode and there is no comparison. I'm getting 298-301 fps in Counter Strike Source, and can play CRYSIS, Left for Dead 2 and COD MW2, at the highest settings maxed out with no lag on my 24" Gateway monitor. It's like playing these games for the first time again. I look forward to purchasing two more monitors to enable eyefinity. Don't be fooled most of the complaints about the 5970 cards is related to poor drivers. Don't load the drivers on the disk that comes with the card. Throw it away. The new 9.12 driver has corrected the issues and in the near future, ATI will get even more performance from this card with updating the driver package again.

Cons: None. Bottom line is that this is a high end card with limited availability so it commands a high price. However, it is well worth the price.

Overall Review: I have not over clocked this card and don't see any need to. It is one of the few 5970's that comes factory overclocked. Prior to installing make sure to uninstall any previous drivers even if you have an ATI card currently. This card is the king....Long live the king!!!

Pros: Fantastic video card for all your gaming enjoyment. Sapphire is the first and currently only manufacture with a BIOS upgrade to unlock the fan and gets the overclocking software working. I easily set this up to 850/1200 1.162v with no problem. I also mapped the fan speeds with MSI_Afterburner to keep it nice and cool.

Cons: Not many games support Directx11 - yet...

Overall Review: NewEgg rocks!

Pros: Super Fast. framerates beyond anything else available on the market in any game or benchmark.

Cons: Price/Size

Overall Review: Its huge...dont try to put it in a mid tower. Runs hot ..but the fan is extremly powerful and exhausts heat well.

Pros: Fast, quiet, runs all my software at max settings.

Cons: As others have mentioned, its a very long card.

Overall Review: I was able to fit this card into an Antec 900 mid size tower case. However, I had to remove one of the hard drive cages. Not surprisingly, my 650watt power supply wasn't up to the task of powering this card and the rest of my computer. I'm using a 850 watt power supply and it works just fine.

Pros: If you are reading this then you already know the pros of this card! I am playing Crysis at 4800x1200 with everything set to very high (Except shawdos on medium) and I am getting fps in the 30-60 range! Eyefinity is amazing, I have stepped down from a single 30" 2560x1600 monitor to three 1600x1200 dell 2007fps and I can never go back to mono gaming. My xbox and ps3 are now collecting dust. It feels like I am playing all of my games again for the first time. If I had to come up with one word to describe this card, then that word would be Scrumtrellessant!

Cons: It took two cards to get it right. My first Sapphire 5970 had the dreaded fan rattling issue, I was getting heavy artifacting, and it was not letting me access fan control in the CCC! The card was so hot after just doing 2d desktop applications that you could fry an egg on it. I hesitantly decided to RMA it. which is something I did not want to do given how hard it was to be able to buy this thing in the first place.

Overall Review: Newegg was amazing! They were able to provide me with a replacement Sapphire 5970 and the replacement works perfectly!! My hat is off to Neweggs CSRs, especially JLM!!! They took the time to listen to me and made sure they could right the situation to the best of their ability. Given the shortages of these cards, I knew my chances of getting a replacement were slim, but they worked their butts off and were able to make a long time customer veeeerrrrrrryy happy! You do not find this kind of customer care at other alternative stores, which is why after 8 years Newegg still has my business!

Pros: Very fast! not that loud! Eyefinity is awesome for the games it works with.

Cons: Need to get more games to support eyefinity and get them crossfire enabled. Get the ((twiwmtbp) the way it was meant to be played nvidia games to run better.

Overall Review: I am running 3x1680x1050 monitors with eyefinity and it is awesome. Daniel3839 you do need monitors to run the same res but there is a trick to get by with this. For all you people trying to run eyefinity and have other widescreen questions go to the wsgf (widescreen gaming forums). It has a whole section on running eyefinity and is the best place on the net to get eyefinity figured out. Daniel 3839 it has a hack to trick you monitors to run the same res. When you run eyefinity the software will take the biggest res of your 3 monitors. Problem is your smaller res monitors of course don't work. The hack on wsgf will let you trick your biggest res monitor to run at your 2 smaller res monitors res. I have rainbow6lv2 running eyefinity also, dead space, both crysis, l4d1, and some others. DDS and others. If you are getting screen flicker etc it is because your 2d and 3d clock speeds are switching all the time. You can fix that on wgsf also. Out of review room. hope this helps.
