Hello,

Is this card voltage locked?
Is it dual bios?

Sapphire HD 7970 Dual-X with blue PCB (NON OC version)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-311-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=938

Does anyone have one of this?

because most reviews I can find online is for the old version of this card with a black/brown PCB and for the OC version.

Thanks.

I have a couple of these cards and neither are voltage locked. Both have duel bios and both the PCB's are blue. One of the cards is powered by 2x 8 pin power connection and the other one, 6 pin and a 8 pin power connections.

thanks for the answer
which one is the newest 8+6pin or 2x8pin?

You're welcome

The 2x8 pin is the most recent of the two. I would imagine you would get the 2x8 pin version if you bought one.

can I also use 3 monitors using 2x dvi + 1x hdmi?

I don't know but i have a similar question.

Apologies in advance for a small thread jack and a slight thread derail.

If i were to connect two monitors to my card how would i go about that? Using dual link dvi on my 1440p screen but i was thinking about connecting a 1050p monitor as well.

I have one of these but my initial attempts of overclocking seem to suggest there is some jiggery pockery going on with the voltage. I can oc the card and unlock the voltage adjustment in afterburner but possibly only in the AB UI, when monitoring the voltage it seemed that the card would readjust the voltage by itself. I got to 1150 on core but no matter how I adjusted the voltage it wouldn't go higher without crashing in Heaven and the voltage graph reading in AB wasn't corresponding to what I had set it to.

I found out that we still need to use an active display port adaptor or a display port monitor.
