Overclocking

With the BIOS switched to the overclock the card ramps up from the default 880MHz to a fabulous 960MHz. However with a little gentle prodding we were able to get the Devil 13 up to 1000MHz, a mighty fine overclock for the HD6970.

Temperatures

Now although we only have nVidia cards to compare to in this graph it’s worth pointing out that normally the HD6970 is a toasty chip. The custom cooler on the Devil 13 certainly keeps the card well reined in, not even cracking 70°C when overclocked and under heavy loading. Very impressive.
