Asus HD6970 Direct CU II Review – the ultimate 6970 ?

Medal of Honor’s single-player campaign uses a heavily-modified version of Unreal Engine 3, and its multiplayer uses the Frostbite Engine. The single player campaign takes place in 2002 in Afghanistan.

For half of the game, players assume the role of a DEVGRU operator codenamed “Rabbit”, of AFO Neptune. For the remainder, the player alternates between the roles of a Delta Force sniper code-named “Deuce”, of AFO Wolfpack, as well as Army Ranger Specialist Dante Adams of the 75th Ranger Regiment, and AH-64 Apache gunner Captain Brad “Hawk” Hawkins.

Again, the small core clock increase doesn't really translate into anything noticeable with this engine either. Perfectly playable mind you, and great fun.

  1. I am sporting a semi after reading the overclocking page (first thing I skipped too as the default clocks of this are stupid).

    Makes that XFX card look really bad.

  2. Very yummy indeed, but the 3 slot cooler is a little extreme. surely they could have done that in a dual slot design. the heatpipes and heatsink arent that big.

  3. that cooler really is insane looking. very similar to MSI’s frozr, which is also great. I dont understand the low core clock speeds. if t his card can hit 1.1ghz with voltage increase then 1ghz should be easy enough. if they sold it as a 1ghz model I bet they would sell tons more. people dont always know how high a card will OC. now we do !

  4. THey always made good boards, but they can be slow getting them out. all the early adopters miss these cards cause they already have other ones.

  5. Thats a fucking kick ass product. 3 slot cooler is really massive, wouldnt fancy trying to fit three of these in a system for 3 way CFx

  6. id rather have their GTX580, but both are pretty class leading designs whatever way you look at it.

    whats next? sapphire with a four slot cooler?

  7. McCoys Salt n Vinegar

    Asus have probably the best engineers in the world, look at their mars and ares cards for instance. we will all never forget em.

  8. I would be more then happy with a card of such calibre running in any of my desktops and I think this card is going to be truly amazing when it comes to staying cool which as we all know opens up lots of over-clocking possibilities

  9. i have bought one 6970 direct Cu 2 and i fails bad
