[deluxes000]

So... What is this effect the game ?

[TheSpiralZeroTheory]

6970 now or wait till next year for HD 7xxx and 6xx GTX?

[lucky88shp]

I will never be buying a Sapphire video card again!! I bought a 6870 a month ago and it had problems and so RMA'd it and got 2 DOA replacements, not one but TWO DOA REPLACEMENTS!!! Fuckin assholes, they are depriving me off BF3!!! :(

[MrHarvo720]

would a 750W power supply be enough to power this card?

[978alex978]

@MrHarvo720 lol too much

[mrapter7]

@MrHarvo720 plenty

[MoraToetjee]

Will my PSU be able to power this card?

 I have a S-ATA Netzteil ATX Power supply MS N55-VAL

I it good enough to power this card?

[legoman3342]

@MoraToetjee ... how much watts?

[UrHideless]

This card is fucking impossible to get..

[Ruffies22]

Also I was wondering how long the VGA card is. I plan on getting a Aerocool CyborgX case and it has 290mm space for the VGA card.

[gator966]

@Ruffies22 11"

[KforKosir]

is ATi HD6970 and AMD HD6970 the same?

[iPhoneOperator]

@KforKosir yep...but ATI doesn't exists anymore...AMD bought it so the cards were called AMD.

[Ruffies22]

@KforKosir ATI AMD same shit.

[insanic1]

he's using a MAC???

[fmpanic000]

do you need to use both crossfire fingers when crossfiring two of these cards together?

[riesenpfosten]

@fmpanic000 no, its just for quad crossfire

[xLycosax]

[OsmanEdition]

[VOSAdam]

@OsmanEdition HD 6970 Crossfire... use some OC.. and you will get awesome perfomance ! :)

[Lionheart1188]

@alexislol321 HD 6970 bro...^_^

[super6plx]

@alexislol321 6970

[Cloerpictures]

@alexislol321

Choose the Radeon. Do yourself a favor.

[mast3rmgl]

@Cloerpictures ummm HIS 6790 or SAPPHIRE 6790???? Both $139 with free dirt 3 :D

[TheLuminousty]

@mast3rmgl

Saphire

[mast3rmgl]

@TheLuminousty k :)

[Phenom69ll]

@mast3rmgl WHAT?! how and wher do u get that SO CHEAP? :PP *likes ur comment, subscribes, likes all ur vids*

[mast3rmgl]

@Phenom69ll 6790 :) $139 newegg haha people think i mean 6970 since people get them mixed up a lot xD

[Phenom69ll]

@Phenom69ll oh ok :DD,, ill keep subbing :D

[Cloerpictures]

@mast3rmgl

Well i dont know HIS, but I know Sapphire so i don't know. I'd buy Sapphire because thats a good name XD. No not really. Seriously buy Saphire. But a 6970 is 250€ so it cant be 139$? So normally it must be about 320$

[mast3rmgl]

@Cloerpictures Yeah...ik this is a 6970 video but i was actually asking about 6790 ^ :) lol and i will buy the sapphire :D

[Cloerpictures]

@mast3rmgl

LOL dude i have to learn reading XD. Yeah dude but get a 6870 or 6970 ^^. 6870 is not so expensive. The most important thing is that you just have to know how much money you can/want to spend.

[sexking83]

@mast3rmgl sapphire

[thestileto]

@mast3rmgl check the clock speed memory speed etc... and compare =D

[Greddy147]

@mast3rmgl I recommend HIS, cause its awesome cooling

[brandon1633]

@mast3rmgl shapphire

[bayinghound666]

@alexislol321 Both cards will perform well, and depending on the games you play, each card can potentially put out better FPS than the other. That said, some charts show the 6970 as running a little louder than the nvidia competition. My best answer would be to do some research and compare these cards yourself.

[jancic09]

Macosec.. Ur CPU is sily.

LOL putting gpu-amd hd 6970

and cpu ANTHLON LOOOOOL.

u wont need a water cooling this card runs at normal temperatur when gaming.

and ur athlon definetly dont need a water cooling

[Macosec]

Plz answer me would i need water cooling for this I ordered it and i dont wanna mess up

CPU: Athlon X4 630

GFX: (willbe)Sapphire AMD HD 6970

[Macosec]

@Macosec and i forgot too add 8gigs

[ItWasntMe456]

someone told me there was a john holmes edition of this card but i cant find it anywhere.

[BlackHatFTW]

Why are tech illiterate people even watching this?

[finthallon]

@BlackHatFTW bcuz mayb we wana kno about pcs too? i hav a imac myself because its the best for games and photoshop and stuff and i just ordered 2 of these graphics card (my dad pays bcuz i only get $20 a week in allowance) and my pc will be one of the best in the world only 5 ppl in the world has crossfire bcuz its so expensive.

[BlackHatFTW]

@finthallon I know you're trolling, but I'm just gonna call you a ignorant shithead anyway. :)

[finthallon]

@BlackHatFTW You "knew" I was trolling but yet responded aggressively to my joke?

You're a moron aren't you?

[BlackHatFTW]

@finthallon I can respond to stupid comments however I want, and I chose to call you a ignorant shithead.

[finthallon]

@BlackHatFTW Oh yeah? Well I am rubber, you are glue, everything you say to me bounces back at you.

[BlackHatFTW]

@finthallon Lol, you get thumbs up for creativity.

[WhiteSugarFive]

@finthallon That's a good one. :D

[SoloEmerson]

very nice :D...

[MrAben1995]

he never blinks because of the small eyebraws i think... or he has just a problem with is eyes ho knows :p

[iAppleTechUK]

im getting the VTX 3D Radeon HD 6950 one. is that a good GPU, i am paying £210 for it so i hope it is..., ( or is there anything better for arround £210 )

[Heyitsmilz]

I know this is a super noob question but, i was wondering, could you Crossfire a AMD Ati Radeon Hd 6970 with a 6950? ty :)

[DropkickBE1]

@Heyitsmilz

You should only Crossfire 2 of the same cards

[lorddemon098]

@DropkickBE1 if m right hd 6970 and 6950 can be crossfire just like hd 5850 and hd5870

[PriomTheKchgr]

guys i've a question is the new SAPPHIRE HD 6670 better then the SAPPHIRE HD 4870 ?

[EITY10]

where is the fucking game?!

[forzamicha46]

@EITY10

They send you a link to the EA website and there you purchase the game with the cupon number they give you via your Email address, offcourse that you need to register first your card in sapphire webpage. :)

[MrWaddefak]

@EITY10 it´s an expansion. you only need the code to play it.

[forzamicha46]

Thanks for the nice review :)

[RomZiomo]

2:30 - fail... maybe that means that imac woul'dnt run the battlefield lol

[ghostkiller123456789]

[KEEVVY]

Kinda fast this review didn't see any gaming specs, I all so wonder if it works on my new recom 550 plus?

[MicrowavedToast]

[jucar2d2]

[RagingBubuli]

This is like "Battlefield Bad Ass Company 2" Graphic Card

[989TROY989]

@pilotofa787

Wow ur so inconcerdorate, he uses a mac dysplay because its a 1600p monitor HERPA DERP

He has an excelent gaming machine and hes a nice guy he uses that MONiTOR coz its a real good monitor and its crazy and epic resolution

Also mate he didnt spend a dollar on it, due to he is a renound unboxer and reveiwmen

Companies like sapphire and what not send him these things for free if you dont understand how advertising works, they get theiir product reveiw and seen by public that want

[fChage]

Ok, i have a question... How on earth is it possible for a 500 watt psu to run those specs: Intel core i7 2600k, radeon hs 6970, 8 gigs of ram, sabertooth p67, 2x hdd's, blu-ray player and a dvd-player????

[pilotofa787]

WHY WOULD YOU BUY THIS CARD IF YOU HAVE A MAC? NICE JOB WASTING YOUR MONEY

[xDeltaGamingx]

@pilotofa787 nice on failing. he reviews cards. man your dumb.

[pilotofa787]

@xDeltaGamingx Well sorry i dont do my research on random men on youtube?

[xDeltaGamingx]

@pilotofa787 lol ? random research ? have you seen any of the other 100 odd videos on his channel ? or in the side bar ?

[JohnM3D]

It's funny that even with the video card makers nowadays trying to build the more expensive boards enclosed into a box, mostly to protect the very sensitive chips from ESD damage or mechanical hazards, people will still prove Murphy's law is always valid and will go poke on and hold the board by the pins / connectors / contacts.

Designers still have a loooong way to go. :/

[PurexOvvnage]

Finally a ati card without a weird looking girl on it

[OriMedian]

OMG MACFAG. FAG. GET A PC BEFORE YOURE GONNA GET TROLLED.

[cacum3]

What is interesting in unboxing????!!!!!! Its silly and good for kretyn's and palant's.

[WarexTv]

no se porque los estado unidences tienen tantas cosas y las compran como si fuesen baratas, es que aya todo es varato o todos son millonarios ? :/

[TechTipsKubi]

[JosephAllenGameMedia]

@motherboardsorg what is the crossfire bridge used for

[gmk120]

that suitcase is cool, but the developers are starting going crazy, you know that the one of the 4 GB version (i think gigabyte's one) has an assault rifle as a box? lol...

[DudeWtF32]

omg MONSTER card !!!!!!!!

[Trillios]

2:04 a mac!!!!!

[MrGrandDragon]

@IRONMAN255550

The GTX 580 performs much better than this. It would be better to compare the 6970 to the GTX 570 or even the 6950

[xXSOKkenrusXx]

whats better the 6970 or the 5870

[xXSOKkenrusXx]

whats better readeon 6970, or 5870

[adambombiswaycool]

@xXSOKkenrusXx 5870 is better.

[xXSOKkenrusXx]

@adambombiswaycool how if its a bigger number, i have the 4870

[JaCieKochams2]

Newegg

[OneGoodCompany]

[minhkhanh114]

VietNam !

[ScreamingTamrin]

2:07 - 2:40 ..... OCD madness lol

[LsMiNioNs]

whats a sapphire amd 6970? what is it? whats it for? what does it do?i wanna kno

[Sarranid]

@LsMiNioNs A videocard -_-

[ravenwda007]

@LsMiNioNs

It's a video card for the PC that lets you play games to the full ability. Better than any console. In order for the card to work better you need a good CPU and memory which is your RAM. check out Crysis 2 game play to see what I'm talking about. You get a card like that then you can play games like that.

[NikoBellicSerbia30]

Can you give me code of Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam if you dont need ? XD XD XD

[fairlaneboys]

can you make a video of all video cards that you collected...

[lin545]

2:00 Apple

Ok. This is great review. But both linux and macosx amd drivers suck a lot compared to their windows versions. So this card is nearly unusable on your mac/linux box. But nvidia - no problem. I hope AMD push more in opensource, but I think they wont.

[Agomongo1235]

"i've been in Nam man I didn't want to see the things man I didn't want to man DIDN"T WANT TO"

[rvds1289]

Is the 6970 Better than the 5970 ??

[SuperGorgasm]

@rvds1289 nonononononononon, the 5970 is about $200 more and is much better in raw power.

[rvds1289]

@SuperGorgasm Ok. Thnx ;-)

[shaban96]

@SuperGorgasm but the 6970 has 3D 5970 doesnt.

[SuperGorgasm]

@shaban96 lmao such a joke, 3D gaming.

[BattagliArmata95]

You are so fucking rich my friend!

[playman350]

Amazing looking.

[phamington]

5970 is still better....

[iamshabaaz]

@phamington and more expensive

[TheHorribleGuitarist]

@phamington its because its a dual gpu

to compare, you would comare with a crossfire setup

[DackIsBack]

I'm so glad this card comes with VGA monitor support...

*facepalm*

[DackIsBack]

Imagine walking through the doors of a LAN party with 4 of those suitcases....

YEAHHH... *Puts Sunglasses On*

[TheHorribleGuitarist]

@DackIsBack fail attempt to get thumbs up...

[bloodyvideo123]

@DackIsBack No, ...*Puts Sunglasses On* THEN "YEAHHH..."

[ZeroInhibition]

@DackIsBack wouldn't it be *Takes Sunglasses Off* since your indoors?

[born2own]

@DackIsBack get a gf

[born2own]

4:30 what a nail bet he has it for scratching his ears

[ChewUpz]

@DackIsBack "F*CK YEAh!"

[cvega88]

@DackIsBack if i see u doing that, u will look like a geek idiot, $380X4? $1440 US ? haha pls.. buy a bitch

[bkujamjar]

Guys what is the difference between this card and the one from XFX?

[sheerfe4rstudios]

@bkujamjar all AMD cards from all companies are relatively the same. Sometimes a company will add an extra game (like BFBC V in this video) or accesories. But all of them are based on a reference design from AMD so they all are relatively the same. Only cards that include anything like overclocked edition are different because they are slightly more powerful, however, they cost more.

[bkujamjar]

@sheerfe4rstudios Ok thank you.

[ToReEnT]

lol nice keyboard :D

[HazemHead]

im so going to get that :D

[jakeforti]

wow just spend $ on a 6870 instead. way cheaper and still fucking awesome as shit

[AsianPerson3]

@jakeforti Amen

[solomonshv]

when will they start shrinking the cards! I have two cards, taking up 4 pci slots completely and are also making it hard to access a fifth one (the slot below the bottom card)

[webeee01]

and i wanna spend 400 dollars on this because... ?

[4Orange2Bud0]

@webeee01 because you get more power than you need

[webeee01]

@4Orange2Bud0 meh, with all do respect, arent there much more valuable stuff that you could get with that kinda money lol

[4Orange2Bud0]

@webeee01 there are some kind of FPS (frames per second) fetishist´s who totaly needs every single frame they can get to satisfact there selves. there mostly called exhaust´s or just hardcore nerds

[NeutralAtJSP]

@4Orange2Bud0 Enthusiasts is the term people that can afford to dip into that tech every single year prefer, and they call people that don't poor.

[4Orange2Bud0]

@NeutralAtJSP yes, thats what i was telling him

[rcarkk]

The number of ATI reviews of this site is huge compared to nvidia ones. Does this means parciality? By the way. That card has an ugly cooler. The red stripes :(

[tritratulalal]

lol mac user
