Powercolor HD6970 Graphics Card Review

Medal of Honor's single-player campaign uses a heavily-modified version of Unreal Engine 3, and its multiplayer uses the Frostbite Engine. The single player campaign takes place in 2002 in Afghanistan.

For half of the game, players assume the role of a DEVGRU operator codenamed “Rabbit”, of AFO Neptune. For the remainder, the player alternates between the roles of a Delta Force sniper code-named “Deuce”, of AFO Wolfpack, as well as Army Ranger Specialist Dante Adams of the 75th Ranger Regiment, and AH-64 Apache gunner Captain Brad “Hawk” Hawkins.

At these settings the Powercolor HD6970 maintains an average frame rate well in excess of 30fps, never once dropping below this figure. This was an enjoyable experience across the three screens.

  1. Performance is really good , the price is going to mean these sell very well, especially for performance enthusiasts in crossfire!

  2. Powercolor bundle the mini dp cable thats a good extra. surprised more amd partners dont do it.

  3. 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.

  4. Very impressive card, the price is much lower than I expected. good time to buy, but im waiting on cooler improvements

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. power consumption is excellent, performance is good. nice.

  8. wow price wise and very good performance AMD you did it again

  9. 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!

  10. Its going to be january.

  11. Who told you? Who are you?! Is this true?!

  12. Hi Andres, Powercolor are showing the card at CES, so it should be released shortly afterwards.

  13. Yay! Thank you very, very much! Remember to ask them to send you a sample to review. 😀
