Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Flex Video Card Review

Author: Will West

Sapphire has put together another great graphics card that does sit in a niche market, but with a very good agenda. This card is geared to provide Eyefinity to the masses and does so with enough performance to actually make a multi-display setup worthwhile to build.  Not all games support multi monitor configurations, we tested 2 games in this review and showed that even with an ultrawide display you can get some decent performance, provided you are willing to tweak the settings.

Sapphire also puts the Radeon HD 6870 Flex into the business arena with the ability to run five displays from a single card.  The options are limitless from giving the graphics designer room to work and accelerate their Adobe programs to allowing the day trader more places to monitor what the market is doing.  While this can be done with existing systems however, it cannot be done with a single card, until now.  

Lots of display options
Great gaming performance
Truly able to handle Eyefinity gaming
High quality cooling system
Tons of Included goodies
Nice performance gains from overclocking

Needs more options for overclocking
