That's right. 6970 now gets the direct cu II treatment from asus. With a triple slot cooler and excellent vrm design, this custom 6970 has the potential to outperform the reference card by a big margin. Does it do it?

^^ Yes that is true but a different story altogether and moreover we already have a thread on msi 6970 lightning opened by gaurav.

But the lightning does perform better than this one out of the box.
