The Radeon HD 5970 fully supports DX11 and ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology, which are two features that NVIDIA can’t offer on any of their graphics cards. Those are two key features that have been driving video card sales for months and with more and more DirectX 11 title games coming out it would be safe to assume that more gamers will be making the move to AMD based graphics cards. Radeon HD 5970 is also very overclockable. This is partly due to the Overvolt tool as you can get even more performance out of this card. The ATI Radeon HD 5970 graphics card is in a league of its own and is clearly king of the hill. O Fermi, Fermi, wherefore art thou Fermi? NVIDIA better hope that their GT300 Fermi series of video cards pack a mean punch because they are going to need all the help they can get…

This card looks like an absolute beast.
Good thing ATI is not using a traditional HSF like their previous video cards or they'd have one hot egg cooker card :O

I heard they changed the layout of the back of this card.

compared to the 5870, they have a larger vent at the back
The HD5870 would have the same exhaust vents if it wasn't for the display port.

the 5970 still has a mini display port and can still run 3 monitors in eyefinity

Too bad they cost $700 CDN

Atleast it cheaper than buying two HD5870 cards; or atleast I think it is.
Yeah but the exhaust vent is larger than the HD5870.
Which is definately a plus, since it takes up a whole pcie slot instead of just half.
It is for now, mayb we will see the price of hd5870 drop a bit now
