The first card on the property of the Sapphire: n FleX AMD Eyefinity technology: Radeon HD5770 FleX went down a storm, when it was launched in mid-2010. It enabled users to create a three-screen Eyefinity setus, without having to buy the screen, which is specialized in the DisplayPort input or the use of expensive brick. Now, when the technology has been added to the new AMD Radeon series GPUs HD6000, Radeon HD6870 FleX Edition form.
Below the surface of the
HD6870 is a standard build of FleX HD6870, one of the ' Bart'-cores using Sapphire designed PCB and cooler to keep everything nice and stable.
Clock speed core and memory are as they reference design: 900 MHz core and 1120 Stream processors; 1,050 MHz (4.2 GHz-efficiency), 1 GB of GDDR5 memory, which is carried out by means of a 256-bit bus. Memory chips are the classification of the 1,250 MHz (5 GHz effective), so there are some of the Operational Reserve, the feeling of the need for a little bit of overclocking.

Keeping cool in a lot of this is one of the Sapphire has its own designed heatsink and combinations of the condenser, which uses three 8 mm heatpipes to transfer heat from the GPU heatsink aluminium fins. These are, in turn, are cooled at the 11-bladed fan.
Eye To Eye
Typically, if you want to build a three-screen Eyefinity installation, you need to use both DVI ports, and then an additional feed, the third monitor DisplayPort. This requires either a specific intervention on the DP of the display device (not exactly thick on the ground), or by using a third-party brick.
Sapphire was reserved for engineers has been beavering away in the EyeFinity technology and used by the output by using them to serve on the Board of Directors of the District of Analogix-you got rid of the need to use the display or the DP dongle FleX Edition.
Instead, it uses the card is used to provide the third screen of the output from the HDMI port. If you do not have a monitor that supports HDMI is not a problem, the Sapphire HDMI DVI ADAPTER card bundles.
If it happens to be on the top of the screen or dongle DP around then that allows you to turn on the fourth screen. Overall, the HD6780 FleX supports a maximum of five shows.

We are intended to give the HD6870 FleX Edition a good fitness program three 24in monitors, 5760 x 1200 would have a resolution test using. Unfortunately, one of the monitors wanted to play it, so we use the two panels on the left to cope with the FleX total number c(1998) 3840 x 1200 Edition. And it did so admirably.
FarCry 2, using the built-in benchmark against which to measure the small ranch map (all game information is set up for the extra and Ultra filtering) at 1920 x 1200, tested the card produced the frame rate 85.23 fps, which fell still playable 48.40 c(1998) 3840 x 1200 fps at 4xFSAA and added to the good measure 4xAscF. It was quite a lot of the same story, just cause 2 (the Dark Tower, a map): 59.89 fps at 1920 x 1200 and 35 38 fps at c(1998) 3840 x 1200.
Extras
The card comes with all the cables and hardware a hint: HDMI cable, passive Flex cable (HDMI to DVI converter), mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort converter standard-VGA-DVI adapter, and a CrossFire bridge.
The original HD5770 FleX was good. The last card to run the FleX name is better, thanks to the updated architecture HD6870. It performs very well, you can set up a three-screen Eyefinity system without DisplayPort monitor anywhere in sight-and oh ... is very, very quiet.
