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.
Great results, falling in right behind the GTX560 AMP! Edition with an average of 49 frames per second.
Nice looking cooler indeed. weird about the temps, that seems very high. the A on the furmark and GPUZ seem VERY high though, I wonder is the bios messed up?
They are making some great cards. bummer you got a dodgy sample. it happens. at least they arent cherry pickin them
Hey, can you pass over my details to powercolor? I have the same card and the same problem. I dont think its your specific sample, perhaps a faulty batch with too much voltage?
Score is too high, the card is faulty, you review what you are given. 6/10 max
Fumark is too much of a stress test now. its like prime. its useless nothing ever stresses out hardware this much. something like crysis is fine. all you need
This is why Sapphire get such a good name, because things like this just dont happen for them!
6870 isn’t a good seller for AMD. its one of their worst sellers. the lower end boards get them their gravy.
optix what do you mean? i think this deal about sapphire being perfect is stupid.
I have had sapphire cards fail before years ago. most of them are made in the same factories anyway by palit.
You scored it too high, even if it is a bad card, you needed to score it lower. Cant take powercolors word on it !
I found another review and theirs seems ok. I think this one might have a different bios with more voltage. the Amps look higher than even most OC’d models ive seen in furmark.
