sapphire takes the 7970 to the toxic label

sapphire was at CeBit yesterday showing off their lovely prototype hd 7970 toxic edition sporting both and oc and 6gb gddr5!!

to do this they had to go to a 3gb 7970 model and piggyback onto her another 3gb using a pair of 32-bit channels

its a pretty impressive looking card. i would love to see how it preforms in multi-monitor

at the very back of that photo you cal also see sapphire's protoype cpu cooler which uses their patented vapor-x vapor chamber technology which would be pretty interesting.

Surely 6GB is overkill? Even with multi-monitors 6GB as opposed to 3GB wouldn't make a massive diffrence would it?

6gb is too much even for 3 screens. Some games might take advantage of it on 6 screens though. Still, only 1 7970 can't really cut it for 6 screens, and anyone who has the money to build a system with 6 screens for gaming might as well go with some super elite edition of the 7990 or the 690.
