Powercolor HD6970 PCS+ Review – silent and deadly

F1 2010 is a video game based on the 2010 season of the Formula One world championship. It is the sequel to the 2009 video game based on the same series. It was released in September 2010 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows platforms. The game was confirmed by Codemasters on 23 April 2009. The game engine is based on the new EGO 1.5 engine, an unofficially titled evolution of the EGO 1.0 engine that was created specially for the title.

We are testing across three screens with 4aa and 8af enabled and ultra quality settings in DX11 mode.

The PCS+ has a distinct advantage with this game at these particular settings. The reference card can occasionally drop close to the 25 fps sweet spot. With the enhanced clocks on the PCS+ the minimum frame rate has a little more room, settling at a low point of 28 fps.

  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!
