Sapphire HD 6950 Toxic Edition 2GB Review

For our overclocking results today, we used our favourite software, the excellent Sapphire TriXX.

Even though this is a preoverclocked card, we managed to wrangle another 74mhz from the core, reaching 954mhz. The memory overclocked to 1406mhz, which translates to an effective 5624mhz.

The manual overclock manages to push performance above the reference clocked GTX570 and HD6970. Very good overall results.

  1. Another great card. really enjoying my 5830 xtreme.

  2. Thanks, looks like another good product. so price will be £220 ish? is that the ballpark? I notice sapphire do a dual fan 6950, but its not overclocked and probably cant be unlocked either.

  3. excellent, I need to get dirt 3 cause i need a new game

  4. 2GB is nice. I still play GTA4 and that helps. I like maxing everything

  5. Id like to see if two of these would be as good as a HD6990.

  6. you ever hear of the return key?

  7. Good card, but im holding fire until the end of the year, until the refreshed cards come out.

    PC market is dead anyway, nothing happening within it 🙁 games all suck lately

  8. Whats up with the box? did they cut the dual fan cooler out at the last minute?

  9. so many of these cards out now its hard to keep track. I think ill wait until the 7 series before upgrading, my old 4 series still manages to play most of the games on my 17 inch screen. Best waiting for the new mid range boards whenever they are out.

  10. This card seems the ultimate 6000 series bang for buck card, runs cool/silent, low power requirements and can be tweaked to outperform the 6970 by a large margin. I need this card sooner then later please!
