HIS HD7970 Crossfire & Eyefinity Review

Up Close

Yes it’s another reference designed card with a different sticker on it. One of the biggest downsides to the early batch of cards is that manufacturers haven’t yet got round to mounting their own cooling solutions, and so we are left with a selection of entirely indistinguishable cards.

The HIS includes all the accessories one would expect to find. Bridges, output adaptors and the like.

The switch up next to the Crossfire finger is for dual-BIOS, so you can flash your card safe in the knowledge you wont end up with a very expensive paperweight.

Of course no Crossfire review would be complete without some gratuitous hardware porn shots. As great as dual-GPU cards are, there is something more thrilling and more exciting about two single cards than just one big one. We very much like the looks of a tower stuffed with GPUs, and the black and red colour scheme should fit in with most systems.
