PowerColor HD6870 Eyefinity 6 Edition CrossfireX Review

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. 2 is an arcade-style flight action game developed by Ubisoft Romania and published by Ubisoft. After the events of the first game, the H.A.W.X squadron is sent to Middle East, where a high level of violence is being registered, and the appearance of various insurgents leaders in various hotspots. The team also has to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Russian nuclear weapons. The player will be controlling three groups: one American (Hunter), one British (Munro) and one Russian (Sokov), each with its own pilots and supporting characters. There will also be references to other characters in the Tom Clancy universe.

We are testing in full DX11 mode with all settings to maximum.

HAWX 2 is a game which runs significantly better on Nvidia hardware, however in single and CrossFire configurations, the Powercolor HD6870 delivers a great gaming experience. Again, dual card scaling is very strong, performing much at the same level as a HD6990.

  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.
