As we wrote in the Introduction, the GF104 would be a perfect choice for Nvidia’s new top-end dual-processor graphics card because the previous new-generation processor GF100 consumed too much power and dissipated too much heat for that. The GF100 also...
Abstract: AMD’s Radeon 5000 series has been on the market for almost a year now, and its dual GPU 5970 just a little bit less. Even with the introduction of NVIDIA’s DX11 flagship, it should - at least on paper - be the fastest card on the market. Let's see...
Putting together these value comparisons is harder than it looks. Oh, sure, looking at our overall value graphs and making broad generalizations is a lot of fun, but it can be quite misleading. You've gotta keep the hidden variables in mind. If this en...
Extremely expensive. May not fit in all cases. Requires a hefty power supply.
The dual-GPU ATI Radeon HD 5970 is the current king of graphics cards, delivering front-of-the-pack performance in every benchmark test. But its sky-high price—and uncommon length—may be prohibitive for many. ...
So what conclusion can be drawn from todays testing?Firstly I'm sure a lot of you have come into todays review with a preconceived notion of exactly what card you'd like. In previous times the general consensus was to purchase the highest priced card y...

Abstract: Just a bit bigger and longer than its already large single GPU cousin, the HD5970 abandons ATI's old 'X2' moniker for the dual GPU cards, going for a distinct base product number instead, a whole 100 points more. How does it compare with the two HD58...
