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.
A 4 fps increase when directly compared to the HD5870. The HD6950 is a couple of frames per second slower than the HD5870 at our choosen settings.
Performance is really good , the price is going to mean these sell very well, especially for performance enthusiasts in crossfire!
Powercolor bundle the mini dp cable thats a good extra. surprised more amd partners dont do it.
I wondered why NO partners ever shipped mini DP cables. everyone needs them. competitors wake up! lets can the crappy games and include one of these with every card.
Very impressive card, the price is much lower than I expected. good time to buy, but im waiting on cooler improvements
The cards are really good to me. I dont like nvidia. but I am not sure on the cooler. seems the reference designs arent too good, again. not bad though.
Powercolor are good. I like the bundle in this one, I cant find that mini DP converter in our local store, so this alone would make me buy one. I have three screens, not all the same size, one is displayport. I dont know why AMD dont bundle this converter with alll cards.
power consumption is excellent, performance is good. nice.
wow price wise and very good performance AMD you did it again
May I ask if you could ask them when are they going to release the Radeon HD 6970 with the PCS+ cooler? Thanks.
In fact, I was going to purchase the PowerColor PCS+ 6870 card, until I heard of the new models being released (I didn’t know they were ready for launch), so I decided to wait a little just for a review on the (future, hope) PowerColor PCS+ 6970. Thanks again!
Its going to be january.
Who told you? Who are you?! Is this true?!
Hi Andres, Powercolor are showing the card at CES, so it should be released shortly afterwards.
Yay! Thank you very, very much! Remember to ask them to send you a sample to review. 😀
