Overall
With top shelf performance, a free game, free HDMI cable, and a stylish cooler Sapphire’s HD 6950 Dirt 3 Edition a gem of a card. At first it was a little disappointing that it lacked artwork from Dirt 3, but the cooler they included has to be the best designs we have seen come out of Sapphire to date. Short of one of Sapphire's silent cards I doubt you will find many cards that are as quiet as this card, even at 100% fan speed. Even better is the inclusion of a bios switch that should make it safe to reflash your vBIOS to unlock some HD 6970 performance. On top of that you have full access to Sapphires TriXX software to tweak even more performance out of this card. It’s clear that Sapphire is trying to position this to be the go to card for tweaking. Because of that, and the included freebee’s this is an amazing value, one of the best on the market currently.
