XFX 5970 4GB EF 6 Black Edition Limited – Weapons of Game Destruction

During CeBIT we told you about XFX’ work on a custom Radeon HD 5970. The card shown at the event was an Eyefinity6 model that didn’t offer much new other than 4GB RAM and promises of higher frequencies. We found out that the card would offer more than the average in its final form. There was talk of a new cooler and exclusive packaging and we now have information and pictures that shows that XFX meant serious business. It considers it XFX 5970 4GB EF 6 Black Edition Limited a weapon to fight Fermi and other extreme graphics cards.

We have acquired a document and exclusive renderings of XFX new monster card and as it should the card and packaging is a bit extraordinary.

The graphics card is inside the weapon, renderings are not to scale

The card will be highest specified Black Edition card on the market and with dual Cypress graphics card it sure sounds exciting. The clock frequencies that will leave the factory is hard to say, but there will be a custom overclocking tool that will allow users to push the card on their own.
