FRONTPAGE ASUS Matrix HD 7970 Platinum Edition Video Card Review

I think it is a record for a GPU. The GTX580 matrix "only" has 18 phases all told:

On the other hand, the 580 has discreet high and low MOSFETs while it looks like the 7970 matrix platinum uses two-in-one MOSFETs (which is fine, given the massive overkill). Without seeing the rear of the PCB I can't say for sure though.
If that is the case, the 580s power bits are likely stronger.

My wife heard me chuckling at Hokie's comment and said "Well, it sounds exactly like something you'd say!"

I guess a geek is a geek

Thanks Hokie. Very nice review!

Is there enough room to even fit two of these? Freakin huge! I love the display port options though.

There is if you have enough room between your PCI-E slots.
