Well you didn't read my post properly buddy. I said same clock levels i.e 850mhz.

Now a TFIII is overclocked to 850 mhz and gives load temps of only 63c like you said. But oc the sapphire 6950 1gb to 850mhz and the temps go past 80c.

Now there's a 20c diff in similar clock levels. That was my point.

But yes, one can live with a stock 6950 without any serious thermal isuues.



Look for sapphire's reference 6950 2gb. Should be within 15k.

My temps were taken with the card OCed to TFIII level. The max difference was some 14-15C and I am also not counting the ambient temp which is definitely higher at my room. ;) It didn't crossed over 80C with games, but stayed closer to it. There's no comparison between the two coolers, but for a single GPU config, the Sapphire one is good enough. With a side panel fan, temps should come down further. And as ico put it, its not 480 or 2900XT for sure. ;)

Performance deficit in dragon age II is purely a driver issue. The nvidia cards had stability problems with 275.33 drivers for this particular game. In the review , F1 2010 heavily favours amd's vliw architecture and performs better. Even a 6970 performs almost similar to Gtx 580 in this particular game and hardocp always brings it when testing amd cards.

So you know, nothing different here.

Well, mukherjee got his hawk, maybe you should wait for some time, you waited like a few months, another week won't hurt right?

And taking HardOCP's review with truck load of salt, you should check out this review:

what's different in this review?

All GPU scores are 7 months old except the GTX 560 Ti Hawk being reviewed.

i dont think so. 275.33 is latest WHQL driver (latest - 275.50 beta)
NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search :wink:

actually if you see that review 560 hawk is beating a stock 6950 by 2-3 fps in games like crysis, BC2. in metro its equal. so 6950 will easily inch past when overclocked.
you can compare with this too. just 50mhz oced 6950 -
MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition OC review

the reason i choose 560 hawk was tfIII cooler and physx. but no news of availability with smc.

so i think 6950 1gb will do fine.

I think he is planning to get the following ;-)



^^ @ Jas - buddy, are you getting GTX 560 TI HAWK/TF3/TF2 or Sapphire 6950 1GB + 2x Xtra flow and when ;-)

^^ well, no need to overclock too. Those reviews are still using the old benchmark scores (old drivers) of December 2010 for the rest of the cards.

I mean, the scores of cards like HD 6950/70 and GTX 560 Ti/570/580 are still the same in their latest reviews where they are reviewing factory OCed versions. You can refer from here: Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 review (Dec 2010)

My point is, reviewers should try to use scores from newer drivers if they are posting review of a card after 6-7 months.
