We review the ASUS Radeon HD 7970 MATRIX Platinum. A factory overclocked three slot wide beast with massive cooling capacity. The completely customized card comes with voltage measurement points, a 20-phase VRM circuitry with supper alloy caps and chokes as well as a special capacitors added to maximize overclocking headroom, according to ASUS.
The ASUS Matrix AMD Radeon HD 7970 Platinum video card is aimed at the enthusiast crowd. You'll see features like a Safe Mode button for situations where an overclocking attempt is unsuccessful or a BIOS flash goes bad.
