With no package all we're going to be looking at the card and as you can see below, there's nothing that we didn't see with the Sapphire version of the card, albeit the lack of a sticker on top of the cooler. We'll also snag a quick GPU-Z screen shot to make sure CrossFireX is working before we simply get into the benchmarks. We'll have a quick peek at the card, just in case you haven't had a chance to see what's happening with it. Since the second card arrived from big red themselves, there isn't a whole lot to look at. For performance junkies, unless there are some real gains in this four GPU configuration, they're simply not going to be interested in the setup. We're not going to pretend we aren't excited about testing CrossFireX, nor are we going to pretend we don't expect some big numbers out of the setup.

You have to wonder what else there is to do? - We'll, that's easy install our second HD 5970 into the system and see how CrossFireX goes. GPU-Z provides us with more information about the Gainward Rampage700 2048MB GS series:īy default, the fan speed runs at 34% when the the GPU temperature is around 57 degrees Celsius.So, we've looked at the HD 5970 in single form and we've also seen the massive OC potential of the card.

In the meantime, ATI released the latest pack of drivers (8.12) that was also installed to confirm and update the test results where it was necessary. In addition, make sure that you have at least a 600Watt PSU before buying such an energy hungry graphics card.įor our tests, we used the ATI Catalyst drivers (8.11). In case your power supply doe not have such cables, the included adapter do the job. In fact it needs one 8-pin and one 6-pin cable. The Gainward Rampage700 2GB GS requires at least 6-pinpower jacks to work properly. The available ports include a D-Sub 15, a DVI-D, an HDMI, and finally DisplayPort :ĪTI CrossFire X is possible by using the corresponding slots at the top of the card. A big warning sticker suggests you not to touch the cards' hot surface after some time of operation.
The other side of the card is covered by a big plate that used to dissipate the produced heat.

Notice that the height of the graphics card enough to occupy at least three empty slots at the back side of your PC case. The Gainward Rampage700 2048MB GS is equipped with two 80mm fans, that cover the massive heatsinks. We find a printed manual, a drivers disc, a molex-to-pci-e adapter, a DVI-to-HDMI adapter and a CrossfireX connector, in case you wish to add another HD4870 X2 graphics card. Inside the box everything is well-packaged and secured. The Gainward Rampage700 2GB GS Golden Sample retails for ~€530, making it a product for enthusiasts and hard-core gamers.

Gainward has also added many outputs on the board including a DisplayPort, DVI (Dual-link DVI, support up to 2560x1600), HDMI and VGA (D-sub 15) connectors, with the HDMI capable to output content at full high-definition (1080p). The specifications of the card indicate that both the core/memory frequencies are set 50MHz higher than the "stock" 4870X2 versions. With all these in mind, our expectations from this card are very high even in demanding game titles such as Crysis. Gainward calls it "the fastest graphics card ever" and we have not many reasons not to believe it. The Gainward Rampage700 2GB GS is an "improved" version of the HD4870 X2 offering increased core/memory clocks that should give an additional performance boost.
Gainward has released a high-end overclockable graphics card based on AMD's RV770 GPU, the 4870 X2 series.
