Powercolor HD6970 PCS+ Review – silent and deadly

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 50fps, never dropping below 36 fps. Slightly faster than the reference card.

  1. Some very nice hardware this week Zardon. thanks man.

  2. Great pictures of the board, great looking card that, very hefty

  3. I always like their PCS+ cards, but I never know what their UK warranty is like, so I buy sapphire everytime.

  4. That is fucking killer looking ! those heatpipes are wicked. Are yoyotech going to stock it?

  5. Dual fans always works for me, better coverage and slower speeds. makes sense to everyone.

    Apart from AMD.

  6. As much as I love Sapphire and XFX, I think PC get ignored a lot and its not really fair, some of their designs are just as radical as sapphire. I think this card is brilliant, those noise levels are class leading

  7. The cooler is awesome, really works well. I think their balance might be a bit in favour of noise though, but I suppose you could set up a manual profile for a little more noise for slightly lower temps

  8. Its all good. apart from the free game. seriously, its over a year old now, can none of these manufacturers clear stock? how about Dead space 2 or something people really want?

  9. WHats the price? dont see it anywhere 🙁

  10. I dont think its out yet man. probably £20-30 more, as usual. worth it. I might sell my 6850 cf setup and get one of these, to lower the noise levels, as my system is quite bad atm

  11. Seems its quite near the core limit. wonder why they went with such a relaxed memory timing, clearly that hynix is way capable of more. that OC was very good indeed.

  12. Hmmm, looking at the cooler taken out from the video card. I am wondering what is cooling the memory chips and other components?

  13. @rickshaw – the dual fans are. Clearly indicated by the huge oc potential on the memory.

  14. Nice~~~ Powercolor has done it again, cant wait to get one of those

  15. Wow, just wow, ultra heavy wow! After my comment on the PCS+ 6870, this was exactly what I was expecting, and that’s why I asked you to ask them for a sample to review.

    I’m going to buy it right now. Enough said!
