(More customer reviews)This card is a tremendous value for the price. I replaced crossfired 3870s with one of these Sapphire 6950s and swapped out an aging Intel Q6600 processor with a Q9550 and overclocked the processor to just over 3.5 ghtz. This card has stomped every game I've thrown at it on max settings. My old cards choked on The Witcher with the graphics options turned up. This card plays it and my other games (Dirt 2, etc) maxed. It runs very cool, although my tower has 11 seperate fans (including the GPU, CPU and Power supply fans), in it so there isn't a whole lot of heat to get trapped. I flashed the card with a 6950 shader unlock. I initially did the straight 6970 bios, but switched to a shader unlock since there are a few folks reporting artifacts and likely damage when pushing the card hard with the 6970 bios. I overclocked the card to 880/1375 with Sapphire Trixx and it runs fine, even with no added voltage! Hopefully Sapphire will include voltage control for the 6900 series in Trixx soon. I've been watching the price on these cards slowly drop. In a few months I may buy a second one and crossfire them since they scale at nearly 100% in many games. Highly recommended.
