PowerColor HD6870 Eyefinity 6 Edition CrossfireX Review

Call of Duty: Black Ops takes place during the Cold War, in the 1960s. The story focuses on the CIA's Special Activities Division (SAD) Studies and Observations Group (SOG) (originally and currently called “Special Operations Group”) – backed clandestine black operations carried out behind enemy lines. These missions take place in various locations around the globe such as the Ural Mountains in central Russia, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam. The single-player campaign revolves around an experimental chemical weapon codenamed “Nova-6”.

Black Ops was a great game, which didn't really have a particularly taxing engine. Even in single card mode the HD6870 Eyefinity Edition can power this game at the selected resolution. CrossFire scaling is pretty good, enhancing both minimum and average frame rates.

  1. Damn this is a seriously sexy HD6870, really loved that article, wish I could afford the panels. 🙁

  2. Thats a hell of a card, the HD6870 doesnt get much attention, but its a good pricepoint normally. quite affordable.

  3. I need to get another 6850 for my system, hopefully in August 🙂

  4. Good boards, but powercolor dont have a good warranty system in the UK, always worth pointing out I think.

  5. 6 mini displayports, very nice. Wish they would supply six mini displayport screens in the box with it :p

  6. How many people have 3 or 4 screens though? its rather hardcore, even for this audience, I would say.

  7. they should make a 6970 version of this card too, thats wicked

  8. The 6870 is a good card, but I opted for the 560 as I will never use more than one screen at home and I got a good deal on one at the time.

    regardless these are good boards, and if I had a bigger desk or more money I would have gotten two 6850s or 6870s

  9. The 6 series is really good for CFx. the scaling always impresses me. shame it needs driver profiles though. wish AMD could crack an ‘all in one dual card profile’. my biggest problem with it, that sometimes AMD take a month to add a profile and id have the game beaten by then.

  10. Im afraid if I was opting for 4 screens id get two 6970’s.
