Introduction
AMD's Radeon HD 6970 is considered a mature graphics card design now with future GPUs coming out in the next months. PowerColor has taken the opportunity to create some waves before the holidays with a new premium-class HD 6970 called Devil 13.
The PowerColor Devil 13 is using a completely revamped PCB design and cooling solution with overclockers and gamers in mind. Compared to other HD 6970 models, the Devil 13 comes with the highest clock speeds of any HD 6970 on the market today - when it's turbo mode is enabled. Without turbo, the card will run at reference design clocks, and is more focused on a quieter gaming experience according to PowerColor.
