Heat it dissipated through the heat from its copper base that fully covers the GPU efficiently. All this combined results in high performance in a quiet environment.

Sorry if this has been asked in other threads, but is it safe to say that any of these new cards are not able to be flashed to 6970?

I think someone forgot to tell TUL corporation that all 6900 series cards have dual BIOS.

They are taking credit for something they didn't do. :confused:
