Product Showcase

So it's time to have a closer look at the products. Below you can spot the packaging of the Radeon HD 6970 DirectCU II edition.

Here we can see the bundle. The card comes with a factory overclock at 890 MHz on the graphics core where the memory is clocked at 5500 MHz effective. This board is equipped with a massive 2GB framebuffer partition, gDDR5 256-bit.

Along with the bundle comes a driver and installation guide, driver CD, PEG power converter, a VGA/DVI dongle and a Crossfire bridge. Oh yes, a graphics card is included as well ;)

The card comes with a shocking four DisplayPort 1.2 connectors, two DVI connectors of which one is single (up-to monitor resolution 1920x1200) and the other dual-link (2560x1600 and even higher). We had a problem though, on our 2560x1600 IPS screen dual-link did not kick in. We had to revert to a newer monitor over one of the DP ports.

So yeah, if you count along with me, six connectors. In theory up-to four can be used in Eyefinity mode with one card, six might work fine though.
