XFX lets loose the $1,200 Radeon HD 5970 4GB Black Edition graphics card

Ditch the packaging sillyness and reduce the price

Ditch the extra 2Gb sillyness and reduce the price even further :)

Ditch the card ?

Buy the card and ditch it on ebay with a higher price :)

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


3200 shader processors, my god what a beast!

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;
