Looks like people who were hoping for a cheaper, albeit more roundabout, way of getting an AMD Radeon HD 7970 will be disappointed. Until today, it was believed that the Radeon HD 7970 and Radeon HD 7950 graphics cards would share a similar PCB design. In other words, since the GPU was basically the same, many we... |

You'd think that Gigabyte's triple-fan AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics card qualifies as a big and bad beast, but that's nothing compared to what Yeston came up with.

If you thought the AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics card was overpowered on its own, you were probably right. That doesn't mean people can't push it into overdrive just to see how far it could go.
