Ruby the beautiful mercenary for hire,
lives with the Hobbits down in the shire,
She wanted a LAN game of Red Alert 3,
but Bilbo's GPU was poor so he needed a VTX3D,
So to the internet she quickly turned,
but with the high prices she became concerned,
Soon though she found Overclockers which seemed a good store,
the order was placed in seconds which she did adore!
Delivery day came and she got the card fit,
"my oh my" she said "what a great piece of kit!"
So they started the game and played for a while,
Then Bilbo put his ring on in anger and ran a mile,
It seems he doesn't take loosing well,
"he is a sore looser" Gandalf did tell.

Link for those last two as you really need a large pic to see her in her full... beauty
(Yes, the pics are blurry, my camera straight out refused to focus on her face, no matter how I tried )Its much bigger than I was expecting, and I'm not entirely sure what to do with her now I have her. Interesting things to note: Manufacture date: May 2009. And its profuct number 264 of 6050 (I think, both of these numbers are smudged and barely legible. And on the back it advertises that you can collect the other two ATI Agent Ruby figures when you purchase an AMD Phenom II processor and an AMD 790 series chipset-based motherboard. The leaflet inside says that this model came with HD4800 series graphics cards.
As for performance of the card itself, I can compare it with my previous 6950 2Gb, which was unlocked to a 6970. I only ran one benchmark, heaven, because I wanted to see how great the new card was
6970 - 1082 (81C)
6870x2 - 1565 (59/62C, two temps for two cores)
The 6970 score was done using the 11.8 preview drivers, while the 6870x2s were done with the actual 11.8s since they are now out, and I also installed the CAPs since its a crossfire card. Very impressed with the increased performance, and hopefully the less RAM shouldn't affect any gaming. Plus there's a copy of Dirt3 in the box as well, so it just gets better and better!
Thanks OcUK!
