Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition Graphics Card

Taiwanese company Gigabyte has decided to jump on AMD’s Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition wagon and has just launched a new video card using the new BIOS and the well-known and powerful WindForce 3x cooling system.

The new addition to Gigabyte’s AMD Radeon video card product line is GV-R797TO-3GD. The card features the same AMD “Tahiti” GPU that contains 4.3 billion transistors. AMD’s Tahiti has proven to be a very capable and overclockable chip and it’s no wonder that the company decided to simply clock it at 1000 MHz and paper launch a new product.

Now the paper launch is becoming a reality and Gigabyte’s new card features a 1 GHz GPU and GDDR5 memory clocked at 6000 MHz working on a 384-bit bus. The WindForce3X cooling system features three 80 millimeters fans, but we’re still waiting for the WindForce5X monster that we’ve presented here.
