Just for share and I think this post is already late because there are lots of reviews in the net for the new ATI 6970 video card. At least we can say that this would be a real benchmark score and I personally did the run.  Also, I?m using Intel?s new Sandybridge for the tests and I will enumerate the configuration later on.

The video card I have here is a MSI ATI R6970-2PM2D2GD5. Specs are 2GB of GDDR5 Mems running at 5500mhz / 880mhz Default Core Clock / 256Bit and with 1536 Unified Shaders.

Plain and simple design box but its huge

You have 1 Dual-Link DVI Port / 1 Single-Link DVI / 2x Mini Display Port and lastly an HDMI connection With one card alone you can actually have 4 displays for Eyefinity

May I ask what CPU cooler you were using when you OC'd the Sandy Bridge?
Anyone know if the current aftermarket coolers with 1156 and 1366 socket brackets will be compatible with this socket?

@zsde
this is an AVC Global Star Cooler. Actually all 3rd party market 1156 coolers are still compatible with the new sandybridge sockets  ;D So if you have one, your safe already

I use OpenGL. Could you run one more test, or someone else, for MSI ATI R6970-2PM2D2GD5. Using the OpenGL Extentions Viewer and show the results. This would greatly help me, Thanks.
