In today's competitive market, the prodcut that stands out from the rest is the product that succeeds. Whether it be by overclocking the card out-of-the-box or putting on a custom cooler, anything that differentiates it from the reference design is a bonus.

In that sense, the XFX HD5970 Black Edition video card excels, because it is weird, but cool. The GPU equivalent of a Ferrari or Lamborghini, the XFX HD5970 Black Edition makes us feel like the people on the BBC series Top Gear, who only test the fastest and most expensive cars. The card very fast, and unattainable for most reviewers. While a regular HD5970 can be bought at a steep $650-700, the XFX HD5970 Black Edition 4 GB costs a whopping $1200. In contrast to other products that are supposed to be "limited" and then produced in the millions the XFX HD5970 Black Edition 4 GB will only be available in very limited quantities. Each card also is numbered: ours is number 61, out of a total of 1000 produced.
