who remembers the ATI/AMD radeon 5970?

[I-amRadeon]

hello to you all

first of all, I hope that I am posting this in the right place, if not please get in touch and we may solve the issue together.

to the point, just a random question. how many of you computer enthusiasts remember the ATI radeon 5970 graphics card? is anyone of you still using one?

I got one a few months ago and really like it, but it is getting old unfortunately. let's not even begin talking about power consumption, heat output and noise. if that was not enough, it is also a HUGE card, it will not fit in most computer cases.

however I have to say that I think it is pretty well made, that's to be expected considering that it was a flagship card when it came out. I do not own any of the current flagship cards from any manufacturer, so I can't really tell if they are as well built as the 5970 looks to be.

also another question just for fun : is there any way to say " graphics card " in na'vi language ?
