Abstract: Last year for the 10th Phoronix birthday I did a 60+ GPU comparison with the open-source drivers and a 30-way graphics card comparison with the binary AMD/NVIDIA Linux drivers. With Phoronix turning eleven this week, I did another large graphics card comp...
Abstract: Last week we covered a 13-way Radeon GPU comparison on Ubuntu 14.04 and we also looked at the state of Nouveau on Ubuntu 14.04 with many NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards. In concluding our latest round of open-source graphics driver tests from the upcoming U...
Abstract: Today we have a couple of Radeon HD 6950 cards and one HD 6970. Two of these three are copies of the reference design. Specifications Sapphire HD 6970 2GB GDDR5 Sapphire FleX HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 GPU: Radeon HD 6950 (Cayman) Interface: PCI Express x16 GPU...
Abstract: During the Unigine Heaven benchmarking, the Phoronix Test Suite also monitored the GPU core temperature from the binary driver for the HD 4870, HD 5770, HD 6870, and HD 6950 graphics cards. The Radeon HD 6950 temperature with the DIRT 3 cooler had an ...
Ability to have up to 6 monitors, 2GB of GDDR5, Quite a lot of connections, Good performance
None that I found
It is good to see AMD get the 6900 series cards out before Christmas and before the end of the year, but where does the HD 6950 really stand. With the price point of $300 it puts itself in between NVIDIA’s GTX 470 and GTX 570. Now in our testing were...
Great Performance, Cool Running, PowerTune Performance/Power Adjustments, Multi GPU Support, Unrealized Overclocking
Extremely Limited Overclocking, Power Tune does not "increase" performance, BIOS Flash microswitch?, Cooling fan at 100%, you remember the 60mm Delta? its worse, No cooling gap for Multi GPU configurations
Do good things come to those who wait? If you are looking for the latest in GPU technology from AMD then yes, you have made the right choice. Of course If you are looking for the fastest card AMD has to offer, then you might want to look at the HD69...
Excellent performance and price ratio, Eyefinity suport, 3D-support via AMD HD3D, Runs really quiet and cool, Low power consumption
Mediocre bundle
The new Cayman architecture from AMD shows a great improvement where Cypress lacked. Tessellation was one of the areas where Cypress was unable to compete against Nvidia's Fermi, and the latest Cayman has at least levelled the playing field somewhat. ...
Abstract: Following closely behind the release of the 6800 series of video cards AMD is releasing their next and more powerful set of cards, the 6900's. Using the Cayman GPU we are hoping to a nice increase so lets check it out.Page 1 - First Look and Informatio...
2GB DDR5 Onboard, Up to 6 Displays with Eyefinity, Improved CrossfireX Scaling, Good Performance, Lower Power
None,
Overall, the Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 is a very good card. It's price point is poised to take over the spot that the 5870 holds currently. The numbers, indeed, justify that is a good spot for it to be. I was a bit skeptical about the new numbering schem...
You kind of get this feeling that the motto at AMD is "If you can't beat them on performance, beat them on price". It seems to be something that has constantly held true over the last couple of generations of cards we've seen from the team, previous...
