Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 Toxic Edition Video Card Released
SAPPHIRE Technology announced the SAPPHIRE HD 6950 TOXIC Edition video card this morning and claims that it is the fastest production card in its class. The SAPPHIRE HD 6950 TOXIC Edition ships with clock speeds of 880MHz for the core and 1300Mhz (5.2 Gb/sec effective) for the memory making it the fastest production HD 6950 on the market. A standard AMD Radeon HD 6950 video card is clocked at 800MHz on the core and 1250MHz on the memory in case you need a reference point as to what a stock card runs at. This nice overclock by Sapphire has been achieved by building the card on a custom designed PCB with digital VRMs for excellent power regulation and 8 + 6 pin power connectors. The standard Radeon HD 6950 uses two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The card also features a custom high performance GPU cooler featuring a Vapor Chamber, blower fan and a new perforated backplate to increase airflow out of the system case.
Like the standard HD 6950, the SAPPHIRE HD 6950 TOXIC Edition boasts true DX 11 capability and the powerful configuration of 1408 stream processors and 88 texture processing units. A Dual BIOS feature allows enthusiasts to experiment with alternative BIOS profiles and settings. Performance can be further enhanced with SAPPHIRE TriXX the companys dedicated overclocking tool which allows memory and core clock speeds and voltages to be modified and monitored and is available free to download.
