PowerColor Reveals the Devil 13 HD6970
PowerColor has released their new Devil 13 HD6970 graphics card designed to fulfill the most demanding of HD titles.
The Devil 13 utilizes a 12-phase power design, direct FET, a proadlizer capacitor, 
voltage read points, 2nd generation DirectX 11 technology and HD3D technology. The card is equipped with two ultra large 92mm cooling fans, providing better air flow than a normal 80mm fan. The four large heat pipes help to dissipate heat from the copper base, which covers the complete graphics card, to provide ideal thermal cooling, along with the dual fans.
"The Devil 13 includes voltage measurement points for gamers to measure and monitor the GPU voltage by multimeter. The Devil 13 is also pimped out with LED lighting signals that show the working status of current GPU, delivering a stylish experience while gaming."
The Devil 13 has default clock settings at 880MHz core speed and 1375MHz memory speed. With a flick of a switch, the graphics card's base frequencies increase by 10% to 960Mhz core and 1425Mhz memory, boosting up gaming performance to the next level.
In addition, the card has a 256-bit memory interface, 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM @ 5500 Mhz (5700 MHz OC), CrossFireX support, and five display outputs (dual DVI, dual mini DisplayPort and one HDMI).
The Devil 13 comes bundled with a set of screwdrivers, a DVI dongle, 6P to 8P power cable (x2) and optional CrossFire and Mini DP to DP cable, all packed in into an eye-catching black and red box.

That's a monster
Stopped reading at "The Devil 13 is also pimped out with LED lighting signals".
Nice advertisement.
sounds to be a good competitor for the Asus Direct CU ii
Pimpin!
If only I had the 20 billion dollars that thing must cost...
I'll stick with my $80 HD4870.
Only 550w I'll take two.
It all sounds great except that it only provides PCIe 2.1 support instead of PCIe 3.0. So, I'll just wait until AMD/Radeon comes out with their 7000 series GPU's.
its always funny when they try to dress up a circuit board
whats with the blatant ads being posted as news items? there's this, the cases that take large GPUs and the thermaltake ad with the "amazing" feature that has the PSU on the bottom.

Folks gotta eat. LOL.
Price tag? Aint cheap

whats with people with big mouths that can't just look at a new product for what it is? You think we all dont know that there are already bottom mount PSU cases? no sh*t sherlock. Its a new item for the manufacturer, its not like they released an Apple patent for it, get over it.
let me guess...powercolor paid tomshardware for this aricle...there are already 6970s with similar heatinks and vrm configurations already available.

Benchmarks to prove that it matters? If you have a full 16 lanes feeding a 16X 2.1 slot, I think you'll be fine. You would need a 79xx in your hands before you start worrying about 16 lane interface bandwidth too much.
Tom's needs a new "Advertising" section for these "News" articles.

they do, its the "Sponsored" section.

Great. That makes the placement of this article even worse. They're implicitly stating that this is not "Sponsored," and then writing "Learn more about the PowerColor Devil 13 HD6970 at PowerColor's product page."
kinda looks sweet to me..
Looks awesome, for those who can afford the highest of ends, this would be great. Btw... PCI 3.0 is not needed so get over that !!
AMD Radeon HD 7000 GPU Series to Feature PCI Express 3.0 Support
Wouldn't it be better to save some money and CrossFireX the 6950 or 6870s?
ultra large 92mm cooling fans
92 isn't ultra large for a GPU, ASUS uses 120 on the 580 Matrix.
News is good but, we need numbers, price and a value comparison to see if it's worth paying the extra premium
Pimpin!If only I had the 20 billion dollars that thing must cost...I'll stick with my $80 HD4870.
I had one of these. It has been a solid card for three years. Gave it to my younger sister to buy a new 6950 but it's still working like a champ
Nice!! I would love to have 2 of those.
