MSI releases R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition

MSI has launched the R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition graphics card, featuring AMDs Radeon HD 6950 GPU. The new R6950 features MSIs latest Twin Frozr III dual fan thermal solution, 6+2 phase power delivery and triple over-voltage support for extreme overclocking.

20% More Airflow with Exclusive Propeller Blade Technology

The MSI-exclusive Propeller Blade technology found on the latest Twin Frozr III thermal solution features air channels on the edge of the blades to improve total airflow by up to 20%. The dual 80mm PWM-controlled fans, heat pipes, large nickel-plated copper base and high fin density all serve to rapidly dissipate heat from the GPU. Under full load, the R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Editions GPU runs 11?C cooler than the reference AMD card, and noise level is lowered by 13.9 dB. The large improvements shown underlines the cooling efficiency of the Twin Frozr III.

To cater to the needs of various user groups, MSI developed the exclusive P/S Switch function for controlling the speed of the fans. The Performance Mode provides optimal cooling performance, where low GPU temperature is a priority. On the other hand, the Silent Mode can be used while watching movies or even during gaming when fan noise is required to be as low as possible.

21% more performance than reference Board with Triple Overvoltage and 6+2 phase VRM

Triple Overvoltage is implemented to greatly improve overclockability by allowing users to utilize the popular MSI Afterburner overclocking utility to adjust the VGPU, VMEM and VDDCI. To achieve maximum performance, the 6+2 phase voltage regulation module (VRM) delivers 37% more power than the reference design, providing more stability at high loads. When overclocked, the R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition offers up to 21% more performance than the reference card.

Handpicked components for the best quality and stability

MSIs Military Class graphic cards became a favorite among enthusiasts for its military-grade components. To get closer to perfecting board design, MSI has now introduced the next-generation Military Class II components, including tantalum core Hi-C capacitors that last eight times longer, Super Ferrite Chokes (SFC) that deliver 30% more power, and solid capacitors which have a lifespan of up to 10 years.
