Sapphire Radeon HD 6970 2GB Dual Fan Review @ Hardware Canucks

Even though the next generation of AMD HD graphics has been released and has proven to be faster than the 6900 series but not fast enough to justify a totally ignoring the previous generation.

Especially when they are a custom design from Sapphire.

The HD 7970 may be the graphics card everyone is talking about but it only just became available in somewhat limited quantities and pricing is far beyond the reach of most consumers. But while the Southern Islands-based cards will take over AMD’s flagship range, lower end cards still provide great performance at a fraction of the cost.  That's where Sapphire's HD 6970 Dual fan enters the equation. 

Of course the only real issue with a dual fan cooler on a GPU is that it won't vent to the outside, and that is why we have good case cooling.
