MSI R6970 Lightning Twin Frozr III Review (18 Phase PWM)

F1 2010 is a video game based on the 2010 season of the Formula One world championship. It is the sequel to the 2009 video game based on the same series. It was released in September 2010 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows platforms. The game was confirmed by Codemasters on 23 April 2009. The game engine is based on the new EGO 1.5 engine, an unofficially titled evolution of the EGO 1.0 engine that was created specially for the title.

We are testing across three screens with 4aa and 8af enabled and ultra quality settings in DX11 mode

F1 2010 is another great looking title which runs well at these settings. The MSI R6970 Lightning yet again helps to smooth out the frame rates, increasing the minimum figures from 26 fps to 29 fps.

  1. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thats a hell of a card again from MSI

  2. That cooler design just keeps getting better. the V2 of the frozr was one of the best, but they have really overhauled the heatpipes on this one. wasnt expecting a 6970 to be loaded when gaming under 60c!

  3. MSI get overlooked for graphics cards, but its like ASUS and GIgabyte. when these boys want to play, no one can compete. its all the motherboard engineering teams they have on hand to create the custom designs. wicked.

  4. A metal cooler, you dont often get that. I was reading the HIS review last night and it looks thin plastic. both work, but very different design concepts.

    Never bought an MSI graphics card before, I take it their warranty would be good?

  5. Its expensive, but they have certainly done the ‘full monty’ with the design. no stone left unturned !

  6. The fan design is unusual. I noticed also that there are voltage options on the PCB. that is one sick friggin card.

  7. Wow thats a nice card..

    Real reason for commenting: That stone giant benchmark… Wasnt kitguru the one that posted an article about two months ago now that talked about biased benchmarks? One of them happened to be stone giant yet youre still running it in all the GPU reviews?

  8. Hi. Yeah we had an interview with Richard Huddy in AMD who said that they are running a very high level of tessellation in Stone Giant which isnt indicative of a ‘real world’ situation.

    We use it sometimes out of curiosity, but I wouldn’t think many people rely on it as a buying decision….

  9. keep watching the stores, this will go up soon and it will sell out too. loads of people waiting on this monster board.

  10. Thats a fucking serious gfx. hopefully they do the same for the 590 🙂

  11. Frozer iii ftw !

  12. Considering the extras it’s worth the extra 45 quid. The cooler is what AMD should do for the reference boards!

  13. Apparently this card is discontinued due to too many problems. Just read through the Feedback on NewEgg’s page:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-127-581&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo

    Shame on you for giving a misleading positive review. Did MSI pay you off?

  14. Our sample was great. Loads of positive reviews around, even on the link you sent.

    You expect us to review hundreds of cards to find a problem? We only get a single sample for a handful of days, we arent a retailer.

  15. Newegg.com is still selling this product and it is hard to get one. I just got mine today and it is beautiful!
