The Devil 13 follows a black and red colour scheme to give it an appearance of being ‘evil'. We aren't sure any graphics card could look scary, but it is effective.
The card has a very hefty dual slot cooler with dual fans onboard. The rear has a black backplate mounted for additional cooling efficiency and protection.
The Devil 13 requires two 8 pin PCI E power connectors for operation and it is CrossfireX capable in 2,3 and 4 way configurations.
The card targets the overclocking audience by offering Voltage Measurement points and an ‘LED lighting Signal' system.
There are two full DVI ports, two mini displayport connectors and a single full sized HDMI port. As mentioned earlier, there are adapters for VGA and full size Displayport. The red button is supplied in the ‘reference' state, which means the card will operate at the default AMD rated specifications of 880mhz core and 1375mhz memory. When pressed in, the card automatically overclocks to 960mhz core and 1425mhz memory, making it one of the fastest HD6970's on the market today.
A GPUz overview of the hardware. It is based around the Cayman core and features 32 ROPS, 1536 unified shaders and 2GB of GDDR5 which is connected via a 256 bit memory interface.
I wish more companies did collectors editions, they are much more interesting to read. I agree however on the screwdriver set. its fab, but i have all the tools in a drawer already.
seriously, stop reviewing powercolor hardware, they are basically impossible to buy here. I know from the oCUk forums that they stopped doing them cause of warranty issues, they wouldnt honour uk people.
thanks for review, not for this card but for the link on ebuyer for the 250 quid 6970. tyhats my son sorted for christmas.
I think its a thing of beauty, people will pay for it. well if they can find it, I couldnt. anywhere.
Its a great idea, just massively overpriced for what you get. My biggest problem with Powercolor is that I read a huge thread on OCUK last year when they stopped stocking them saying that they weren’t authorising RMAs or something.
