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 single card manages to maintain good frame rates at our chosen settings with this intensive Direct X 11 engine. When two are configured into a CrossfireX system, the scaling is fantastic, averaging 86 fps.
Damn this is a seriously sexy HD6870, really loved that article, wish I could afford the panels. 🙁
Thats a hell of a card, the HD6870 doesnt get much attention, but its a good pricepoint normally. quite affordable.
I need to get another 6850 for my system, hopefully in August 🙂
Good boards, but powercolor dont have a good warranty system in the UK, always worth pointing out I think.
6 mini displayports, very nice. Wish they would supply six mini displayport screens in the box with it :p
How many people have 3 or 4 screens though? its rather hardcore, even for this audience, I would say.
they should make a 6970 version of this card too, thats wicked
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
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.
Im afraid if I was opting for 4 screens id get two 6970’s.
