This deviation leaves us watering at the mouth wondering if we are going to see a 5870Г—2 or even 5890Г—2 variant (drool). We give props to ATI for deviating from the X2 naming scheme to avoid confusion in design. Getting back to the naming scheme you can see that the Asus HD 5970 has double the hardware that the HD 5870 has but it sports the clock speed of the 5850 making it just different enough that naming it the 5870Г—2 would be slightly misleading.

Believe us when we tell you that if any card in the world justifies buying an expensive full tower with 13 inch HD cage clearance is worth it, the Asus 5970 Voltage Tweak Edition is that card. Most full tower chassis will accommodate the 5970 but measure twice so you can avoid Dremmeling your chassis to fit the card. Most mid-towers without removable HD cages wonвЂ™t accommodate this beast. Your going to need more than 12 inches (the card it 12 inches) to wedge this behemoth in. The 4870 was, by todays standards a fairly small dual slot cooler card, the Nvidia GTX lineup was a little longer, then the ATI 5870 had those cool red air intake slots and beat the Nvidia size by about a half an inch, then here comes the Asus HD 5970 and beats the 5870 by about an inch. To show you what we mean about size we вЂњPackвЂќ pictured several cards, on top we have the Asus HD 5970 Voltage Tweak Edition, below that we have a Visiontek 5870, Asus GTX-285, BFG GTX-275, and on the bottom we have a Sapphire 4870. That or make some pretty blue smoke emanate from the chassis. Not to worry though ATI and Asus promise massive overclocking headroom so we should be able to push this card up to and beyond the stock clocks of the 5870.

Well after digging in and looking at the cards the Asus 5970 Voltage Tweak Edition has all the hardware of two 5870 but it has the clock speed of the 5850 so ATI named it the 5970 to avoid bad press by naming it the 5870Г—2 which wouldnвЂ™t be correct because of the lower clock speed. Little discrepancies like that set us to scratching our heads and we have to dig in and find out why they deviate from an established naming scheme. This time ATI slid one in on us and named the new dual core GPU 5970. The last generation of dual core GPU from ATI was the 4870Г—2 and it was two 4870 GPU cores on one card and was keeping the X2 naming scheme. We didnвЂ™t expect to see a dual core 58xx GPU this soon in the cores evolution. The first GPUвЂ™s we saw in that line were the 58 and we were thrilled with those.

The 58xx series from ATI/AMD is no exception. With each new generation of GPU we see better designs capable of cranking out more FPS and handling new levels of DirectX. You can raise core voltage and itвЂ™s ready to rock the most hard core enthusiast. The Asus HD 5970 dual core GPU is the fastest single card GPU currently in production.
