After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Flex Video Card Review
Author: Will West
Published: Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Card Layout & Features
Here we have the Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Flex, The large heatsink shroud is accented with blue stripes which outline the primary fan opening and Sapphire logo. Card cooling is handled by a large fan located in the center of the heatsink which also means that heat will be exhausted both inside and outside of the case.
The back of the Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Flex is nothing special, but it does have a nice blue PCB that give it some character over the normal black PCB.
There are a total of 5 digital outputs on this card including Dual-Link DVI, Single-Link DVI, HDMI 1.4a, & 2 x Diplayport 1.2 connections.
Like most Radeon HD 6870 the Sapphire Flex version has only one Crossfire Link and will be limited to just two cards in Crossfire.
