    1. 1.AMD Eyefinity technology works with games that support non-standard aspect ratios, which is required for panning across multiple displays. To enable more than two displays, additional panels with native DisplayPort™ connectors, and/or DisplayPort™ compliant active adapters to convert your monitor’s native input to your cards DisplayPort™ or Mini-DisplayPort™ connector(s), are required. Support for six simultaneous displays may require complementary products compatible with DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport. Maximum number of configured displays may vary - check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies. SLS (?Single Large Surface?) functionality requires an identical display resolution on all configured displays.
    2. 2.AMD App Acceleration is a set of technologies designed to improve video quality and enhance application performance. Full enablement of some features requires support for OpenCL™, DirectCompute or DirectX® Video Acceleration (DXVA). Not all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities and may require complementary products.
    3. 3.AMD PowerPlay™ and AMD PowerTune are technologies offered by certain AMD Radeon™ products, which are designed to intelligently manage GPU power consumption in response to certain GPU load conditions. Not all products feature all technologies – check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities.
    4. 4.AMD HD3D is a technology designed to enable stereoscopic 3D support in games, movies and/or photos. Requires 3D stereo drivers, glasses, and display. Not all features may be supported on all components or systems – check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies. A list of supported stereoscopic 3D hardware is available at http://www.amd.com/HD3D.
    5. 5.AMD CrossFire™ technology requires an AMD CrossFire Ready motherboard, an AMD CrossFire™ Bridge Interconnect (for each additional graphics card) and may require a specialized power supply.
    6. 6.Utilization of PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth requires a mainboard equipped with a PCI Express 3.0 PHY. Not all mainboards feature this technology – check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities.
    7. 7.Projected AMD CrossFire™ scaling based on analogous GPUs from previous generations of AMD Radeon™ products.

Just got this today, booted up right away. OC easily, and has voltage control, which is a huge pro. The dual fans run a bit loud at 100%, but with Crysis 3 at full settings, it never went above 60 degrees. Highly recommend this card. (Read More)

This was a great deal for the $400-ish price after taxes, shipping, and rebates. Compared to the much higher nvidia prices at the moment, I opted for this card instead as I planned to OC it a bit. It runs much cooler than I expected. On a cool summer night, it idles at 40C, and maxed out at 65C with the fan at 65% when running kombuster burn in test for ten minutes. This is with all of the CC overdrive settings set to max and a voltage increase from 1.175 to 1.2 in MSI afterburner, which it doesn't appear to ever use, however, the voltage increase seems to be what cured the stability issues otherwise. The card would pass all of the tests I would throw at it (Heaven, 3DMark11, Kombuster, etc) on default voltage with the CC settings maxed out (1125MHz core, 1575MHz memory, +20 power), however, it would lock up in Far Cry 3 or have occasional artifacts. I have left all the CC settings at max and used MSI Afterburner to increase the MAX voltage from 1.175 to 1.2. I have been using the card for two weeks at these settings and played hours of Far Cry 3 and 18 hours of Bioshock Infinite as well as a few other games and there hasn't been any issues. I briefly tried using MSI Afterburner to go past the CC recommended settings, but I quickly ran into problems so I decided to keep my stable OC settings that I just mentioned. (Read More)

Good video card really fast good for anything out right now pretty much. I got it on sale for $470. Will overclock to 1125mhz gpu without even touching stock voltage (will actually run under voltage). Card will go to 1300 using something other than catalyst. Runs relatively cool, but if you do manage to get to 100% fan speed it is quite noisy. (Read More)

Had a single HD7970 v3 for about 5 months, loved it! performed on par with my CF HD6950. then the v3's fell off the face of the earth, so i jumped at the sight of them becoming available again, and for a $360 price point. i think looking back at bang for the buck i'd have gone CF HD7870s. i have a Optoma GT750e 3D projector, and since the advent of HDMI1.4a, lets just say it just works! also i love eyefinity, 5760x1080 rocks! altho AMD still had RAGE issues in CF, so need to disable before playing that certain game, kind of a pain, but the CCC is a real simple tool, i love how you can have video presets(single display, projector, eyefinity, clone, etc). in CF these things are really CPU dependant.
