    Big and bold. Is this the fastest single-GPU graphics card around?

    was going to say wheres the eyefinity tests? 6gb is wasted for less than 3 screens.... and when you do test can you put 2gb and 4gb gtx 680`s as well

    Re: Reviews - Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 TOXIC 6GB

    Its a good card but im baffled by their decision on including that active converter, why didnt they just give you a dvi port or an extra HDMI and just leave one DP... would have saved ~£70? Making it a bit better .

    Its very expensive for what it is though unfortunately, it does make it the fastest card but at to much of a cost, although if you compare it to gtx480 its still a power frugal beast . Hopefully the 8000 series offers this performance for £150 and only uses 100w of power haha.

    So its overpriced, really loud and use lots of power. Plenty of better cards in the market.
