Radeon HD 6970 is an AMD graphics card released in December 2010. Its architecture simplified the design of stream processors and made them more efficient.
Model history
In 2008, AMD designed and launched the Radeon HD 4000 series graphics card, code-named R700 and the ATI Technologies brand. Probably many still use it on their PCs. The architecture of the R700 was replaced by the long-awaited R800, which paved the way for the AMD ATI Radeon HD 5000. The pearl of the series was the HD 5870 card , which appeared in September 2009. It consisted of 2,150 million transistors and was successful, remaining the flagship single-processor model for about 15 months. Replaced at the end of 2010. At that time it was one of the best video cards in its price range, which speaks for itself.
