HIS HD6870 CrossFireX Review

Mafia II is a gritty drama which chronicles the rise of World War II veteran Vito Scaletta, the son of Sicilian immigrants. As the game progresses, Vito will join the Falcone Crime Family and become a made man. There are 15 chapters in the game, connected into one storyline.

We tested at 1080p with fullscreen: on, antialiasing:on , Anisotrophic filtering: 16x, Shadow Quality: High, Ambient Occlusion: on, Geometry Detail: High and APEX PhysX: off.

Again, the HD6870 Crossfire configuration leads the pack by a couple of frames per second over the GTX460 FTW. The single HIS HD6870 slightly outperforms the HD5870 which gives a good indication that the new architecture is really helping improve real world performance.

  1. Boring reference design but crossfire performance is fantastic.

  2. Their pricing is fantastic, there are price wars aplenty right now, they seem to be dropping every day !

  3. HD6870 is still disappointing I think compared to 6850, but we will only be able to judge it when third party versions hit the market.

  4. These are down to 179 quid in the UK today !

  5. The pricing is different on every store I visit,. its a bit of a nightmare getting set figures for either 70 or 50.

  6. wicked. two 6850s in CFX for me.

  7. Excellent pricing but 460 is still good

  8. I like the fact they have quietened the card down compared to reference design, however does anyone like the reference cooling? seems madness to buy now when we all know that better coolers will be announced for the same price in a month.

  9. The 6870s are impressive but the 6850’s are bullshit because amd sumbitted 6850 with 1120 cores(6870) instead of 960 or whatever which proves that the results for the 6850 were just liek downclocked 6870s

  10. as I said in the other discussion. not all 6850s had the higher count.

  11. I realised sorry 🙂
