Aliens V Predator has proved to be a big seller since the release and Sega have taken the franchise into new territory after taking it from Sierra. AVP is a Direct X 11 supported title and delivers not only advanced shadow rendering but high quality tessellation for the cards on test today.

To test the cards we used a 1080p resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on. We use this with most of our graphics card testing so cards are comparible throughout reviews.

The HIS HD6870 really delivers the goods with the AvP engine, scoring 92 fps. The minimum frame result is 12 fps higher than the eVGA GTX460 FTW Sli cards which is very impressive.

The single HIS HD6870 scores slightly more more than the single eVGA GTX460 FTW card and outperforms the previous generation HD5850 by a couple of frames.
