XFX Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition 4 GB Retail Card and Packaging Pictured

I can't believe something so expensive and limited edition only has a 2 year warranty : /

They need to get rid of the (IMO) stupid gun case and bag. Lower the price. Right now this card costs as much as the ASUS 5870x2 which is a much faster card.

That is gay.

Which is another reason i would not touch it as it only says to me is they cannot stand behind their product.

Elegantly Spoken.

The ARES bundle is awesome compared to this cheap plastic shit lol.

Except that I cannot buy ARES, on it's own. This card, I can. I love how the newegg deal basically give the XFX 850w PSU for free...should give a good idea as to how much Newegg is marking this card up.

True, But you can always get the 4GB from Sapphire. (Not the Toxic one)

I think the packaging is cool and the bag and case is pretty sweet but i would never pay that price they need to sell that stuff on the side haha

 

[OneCool]

Here's the price tag lol

XFX HD-597X-ENFN Radeon HD 5970 BLACK 4GB 512 (256...

- 4 GB DDR5 memory
- 6 Mini-Displayport outputs
- Supports up to 6 displays
- Black Edition
- Individually serialized. Limited quantities.
- P90-themed Gun Case with specially designed LAN
bag by G8

HOLY SHIT!!!


At least they give you free shipping



I could build an entire gaming rig for that :shadedshu

 

[Hayder_Master]

i want only the P90, LOL

Makes me wish I won the lottery to get this.

4GB I assume it's 2GB per GPU so effectively only 2GB vram is used. That'd be only a 1GB improvement over the 'mainstream' 5970 which is marketed as a 2GB card..

It's way too expensive, alas I'm not 1337 enough to get one

I feel like this is too little too late from XFX... ARES and the sapphire Toxic version (my personal fav) have been out for months now... not to mention the extra memory is next to useless, and stock 5970's will easily (in most cases) hit these speeds.

I'd say they could be record setters but I'm pretty sure tri GTX480's have broken most of the records that CFX 5970's have set.

Let me get 2 of these and whatever NVidia calls the dual 480 card for Physx so like Solaris, I can get 35fps on WTF high in Crysis.

 

[DannibusX]

Two of these would look real good in my Level 10.

 

[El_Mayo]

What is the length?

 

[pantherx12]

What is the length?

You're obsessed !

 

[pr0n Inspector]

Lame case and bag. A DeWalt style case would be much better.

 

[El_Mayo]

you're obsessed !

shut up you! :d

 

[Scrizz]

that thing better have 4 GPUs in there, or else!

 

[Flanker]

what is that stack of stuff in the first two photos?

edit: nvm, re-reading OP, and found those are accessories. probably some gold plated cables or something for that pricetag

Only if XFX released this a little earlier. I was waiting to upgrade my 2x 5970 Black Edition 2GB cards to 2 of these 4GB ones. Though i already upgraded to the 4GB Sapphire (Non-Toxic). XFX could have had some good business if they released these cards earlier. Now no one is going to buy them as the 6xxx series is just a few months away. :/
