Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 FleX - Review (2)

Closer look

Connector

6 Pins Power Supply Port

SLI

            The ports on the Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 FleX is look like the master one.

There are 2 DVI ports, HDMI 1.4a, 2 mini-display 1.2 ports. But there is something smelly about the Sapphire. It can take 3 DVI monitors at the same time by the Eyefinity technology (2 from DVI ports and another form mini-display port by HDMI to DVI cable converter (in the bundle)). Only 150 power supply of each of Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 FleX which can make up to 4 ways crossfireX. 

PCB & Cooler

            Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 FleX can be divided in to three major parts. There are heatsink, PCB and frame. Take a look at the heatsink, it use the Vipor-X technology combine the 2 copper pipe and aluminum fin. It has 11 blades each blade is 9 centimeters long. Smelly again when Sapphire uses the Vapor-X technology the name of the card is going to be ending by “Vapor-X”. I think that it because the Cayman is too hot and cannot survive without the Vipor-X.

            The blue tone of the Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 FleX is impacted by lot of electronic parts, but still looks orderly. Solid capacitor. 8 phases power supply; 7 for core processor another one for memory (GDDR5 from Hynix). 2 bios systems one can’t be edited another can’t.
