Resident Evil 5, known in Japan as Biohazard 5, is a survival horror third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the seventh installment in the Resident Evil survival horror series, and was released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13, 2009 in North America and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Windows version of the game was released on September 15, 2009 in North America, September 17 in Japan and September 18 in Europe. Resident Evil 5 revolves around Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar as they investigate a terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictional town in Africa.
Within its first three weeks of release, the game sold over 2 million units worldwide and became the best-selling game of the franchise in the United Kingdom. As of December, 2009, Resident Evil 5 has sold 5.3 million copies worldwide since launch, becoming the best selling Resident Evil game ever made.
The HD6970 scores an average of 111 fps, compared to the HD5870's 92 fps – this translates into a 21.6 percent performance increase. The GTX460 OC edition scores around 78 fps, rising to 133fps when placed into an SLi configuration.
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. 😀
