"None the less, 1125 MHz on the core and 6300 MHz on the memory without any voltage tweaking has to be a new milestone all by itself. The advantage without added voltage is that the temperatures do not change that much, the noise levels remain okay and the power draw really isn't bad either."

Yes It's True.

So eyefinity is up n running. :D
First minidp to fulldp second minidp to dvi and the third output dvi to dvi and the 3xu2311 in portrait mode at 3240x1920 are ready.
The picture quality is better than 69xx series.
Fps is obviously less than my previous setup with 6970 crossfire
The card at 70c is louder than my 2xAsus DC II.
And of course the game is more smooth.

So for the reference card they made the plastic shroud look gloss and shinny, but sad to see they didn't improve their cooling fan :(

Guess it's probably worth waiting for manufacturers cards with custom coolers. For a £450~£500 card, you'd thought they would put in the effort in not cutting corner on cost for the cooler...

Hi there

Superb results, can I hear your comments on noise please. As to my ears a single card is silent, you don't notice it at all in a typical office environment. How about yourself?

Must be an optical illusion then , the way he’s taken the pic it does look long. Not seen a 6970 but my son as 2 x 6950 so how do they compare on size to them?

The noise levels is the only minus thing at the moment.
I had 2x6970 Asus DCU II with noise level less than this new.
