About this product

Product Information

The R6970 Lightning is specifically designed to handle the extreme overclocking which eager gamers and media outlets around the world have been waiting for. Industry-leading Power4 architecture and Twin Frozr III dual-fan cooling with Propeller Blade technology brings together a solid power supply with advanced cooling technology. The Lightning series of graphic card is designed to offer the ultimate in overclocking capabilities!The MSI R6970 Lightning graphic card inherits the impressive Power4 architecture from previous Lightning cards along with improved components and design in four areas. The PWM module is twice as large as before and provides double the amount of current to the GPU. Memory has its own independent power supply using an 8-pin connector for minimum interference to greatly increase overclocking potential.Twin Frozr III cooling design utilizes the Propeller Blade technology to double the amount of airflow compared to conventional fans. The airflow also covers a large surface to remove heat quickly and effectively, and when you add in twin PWM fans, SuperPipe technology, and the form-in-one heatsink, the result is GPU operating temperatures lower than the reference board when the R6970 Lightning is operating under full loads.

Crisp Images with depth of color
The adapter is a little heavy, but is definitely quiet when set to quiet mode. Color is really rich and in depth. The speed at bringing up images is awesome as well. Definitely a great buy.

Make sure you have enough power...
I had to use 1 Pci express x16, and one Pci express x4 (The two 16's were too close), yet still achieved about an 80% gain in FPS...Here's my problem...I have a Corsair 750w PSU, and it is sooo close to being able to handle two 6970's...But not quite. Lock ups after 10-15 min and it's not GPU temps (60-70c). Now, do I spend 170.00 on a 1000W PSU, or 240.00 on a RX480 while abandoning 2 6970's???
