HD 7970 Matrix Platinum Unboxing

[sumonpathak]

hey guys....
got my hands on this a while ago..though i would share some pics with you.
What we have today is the single gpu king from AMD the Matrix Platinum HD 7970.
this particular Sample comes courtesy of Asus so a big thanks to them for providing me with a sample.
Now coming to the card, this is THE card for overclockers and gamers.
The matrix edition generally has top of the line components,better power design and specially binned chips clocked at higher speeds.So if u manage tp get this card you will be getting the BEST card out there.
now i will talk about it on detail on the review.
Lets just have a look at the pics and the specs for now..
First the specifications

Now i promised that i will keep this short..so am not gonna talk much and post the pics and fly away..
the card comes with two signature 10CM fans on the front whihc is typical for Direct CU II cooling range.

the back comes with a custom separate back plate

the load indicator LED looks pretty nice and since it changes color according to load one get an idea what is stressing the gpu and by how much.

and at last we see the Voltage LED's and 3 hardware buttons for voltage and bios reset.the red button when activated lights up and puts the fan to instant 100%.
