MSI R6970 Lightning Review: A Supercharged AMD Radeon HD 6970

[news 28]

MSI has been on a tear as of late with their video card offerings.

The Twin Frozr II and III series have all received positive reviews,

people seem to be buying their products, and the company has taken

some interesting turns in how they handle overall design and

differentiation in a very crowded graphics marketplace. This did not

happen overnight, and MSI has been a driving force in how the video

card business has developed.

Quote: "It is a tremendous design from MSI, and I am happy to say that

they have erased the memory of the disappointing R5870 of yesteryear.

It does have a price premium over a standard HD 6970, but in this case

I think the premium is well worth it. It has a good overclock right

out of the box, and the Twin Frozr III cooler is a marvel. Even

though it does not exhaust the air outside of the case, it was so

effective in cooling the chip that it barely raised the case

temperature in the first place."

 

Thanks for a post!
