The Sapphire HD 6970 Battlefield Vietnam (TeraScale 3) model joined the AMD lineup of graphics accelerators on 14.12.2010. The graphics processor is manufactured using a modern process. The 389 mm² die contains approximately 2.6 billion transistorsistors transistors. The model's computational arsenal includes 1536 universal processors. Also available are 0 specialized cores for ray rendering and 0 cores for accelerating artificial intelligence. The GDDR5 video memory capacity is 2 GB. Thanks to the 256 bit-bit bus, bandwidth reaches 176.00 GB/s, eliminating delays when working with demanding textures. The GPU's base clock speed is 880 MHz, and in Boost mode, it can automatically increase up to 0 MHz. The nominal thermal design power is 250 W. For stable system operation, a PSU of 600 W or more will be required.
