XFX prepares Radeon HD 5970 X2 4GB Black Edition

Comes in a funky gun case

Since XFX is not on Nvidia’s launch partner list for Fermi, the company has decided to do a special version of the fastest card available, the Radeon HD 5970 X2 and call it Black Edition.

The card should be the fastest to ever launch, comes with 4GB memory with higher clocks that you used to see and it comes with XFX overclocking tool for some even higher clocks.

Since we are talking about big guns, the card comes in a special GPU case that you can see the picture below and the card will fit in the gun-box like a magazine.

The card will come in limited quantities, will enjoy superb support via live function and the users will get a special carrying bag. Let's not forget the 6 mini Displayports that can drive a 6-screen Eyefinity setup.

Accessories bundle includes:

3x MiniDP (Male) to DP (Female) adapter
1x MiniDP to HDMI Dongle
2x MiniDP to SL-DVI Dongle
1x CrossFire bridge
1x QIG Quick installation guide
1x driver CD installation guide **new driver CD format
1x Black Edition Door Hanger (Quick Access for Technical Support)
1x Exclusive Black Edition case badge
1x Black Edition sticker
1 x XFX OC TOOL

"gun box"

is it going to be bundled with BC2 or some shoot 'em up? If not i have no idea as why they choose to put it in a "gun box"

Reality: A plastic case that looks like a gun and obviously fake.
Customs: It's a bomb shoot it!

Card looks kinda plain, but damn, 4GB :O

I think the card looks pretty nice.... No gammy red stripe through the middle, and theres no denying the 5970 looks freakin badass anyway.

It's not like it's going to be a mass produced card, probably very limited quantities.

Imagine heading to the airport or bank with this (although you shouldn't). Either everyone drops to the ground or you get shot in the ass It's a lose-lose situation, but a nice case regardless.

Once you start cheating on your husband, you also start to wear your most sexy undies when you go and see the other dude. It has been proven. Seems lady xfx has tasted something better out there (how can you blame her, ati has the biggest gun) And it also seems she doesn't wanna come home too. Seems her marriage is.. well.. over.

Wow.

Yea, $1000 is what I heard too. Assuming the 5870 2Gb is about $500, it'd be the same price to XFire.

4 Cypress GPUs with 1GB of total graphics memory?
That's raping the common sense.



Answering to the topic's title:
Yes, XFX is pretty much pissed of at nVidia.

That's the most creative response to anything I've read in a while.

Yeah I thought he was talking about the 5970.

 

[HalfAHertz]

Judging by the dongles, the card comes with 6mini dp ports?

"Let's not forget the 6 mini Displayports that can drive a 6-screen Eyefinity setup." -> from the first post.

Well even just 2 GPU's 1GB of ram is pretty outdated before it's even released.

 

[Jeffredo]
