PowerColor Teases a New, Custom-Cooled Radeon HD 7970 Card

Cristian_25H · Feb 8, 2012

As if two custom Radeon HD 7970s (the Vortex and LCS models) aren't enough, PowerColor has today revealed another HD 7970 card that goes beyond AMD's reference design. Seen below, this third custom Radeon HD 7970, likely part of the PCS Series, comes equipped with a dual-slot cooler boasting two fans and (at least) three copper heatpipes, and features 2048 Stream Processors, a 384-bit memory interface, 3 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, CrossFireX support, and five display outputs (dual DVI, dual mini DisplayPort, one HDMI).

PowerColor hasn't said anything about the card's clocks or price tag but hopefully those will be revealed later this month.

I swear this was already for sale on NCIX's site a couple day's ago :confused:

Black PCB and a decent looking cooler = WIN!

Going by their 7950 version, get the sapphire one that looks, sounds, and performs just like it instead. The difference being the sapphire is cheaper and has a vrm/ram plate, and a few more heat pipes.
