XFX's limited edition DirectX 11 card comes in an assault rifle-shaped enclosure and is offered with a P90-themed LAN bag, and no less than six display adapters. Spec wise, the dual-slot Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition Limited has 3200 Stream Processors, a GPU clock of 850 MHz, a 2x256-bit memory interface, a memory frequency of 4800 MHz.

XFX lets you loose $1,200 with their Radeon HD 5970 4GB Black Edition graphics card?

it's an oc'ed HD 5970, surely to be quick.

but at $1200 you can buy 3x480GTX in SLI which will simply destroy this card in every benchmark known to man; 2x480 GTX already beat 3xHD5870 @ high res

this card at $1200 makes zero sense;

For starters review the card so we know if it's any good.

3200 shader processors, my god what a beast!
