fastest single chip video card . run cool and very quiet even at full load , give I 40-45 % extra performance than my 6970 he icecool , no crash after hour of gaming ! best ever , pricey but you pay for performance I be very happy with my purchase . I have before sapphire 6990 and while performance be better it be little too much heat and noise from that card so I sell it and get one 6970 from he and it be very good but I miss my 6990 performance ... not anymore !!!!! get it you will not regreat you decision .
