Sapphire HD 6950 Toxic Edition 2GB Review

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.

Strong results from the 2GB Toxic Card with this Direct x 11 engine, averaging 53 frames per second. The frame rates never dropped below the 30 sweet spot.

  1. Another great card. really enjoying my 5830 xtreme.

  2. Thanks, looks like another good product. so price will be £220 ish? is that the ballpark? I notice sapphire do a dual fan 6950, but its not overclocked and probably cant be unlocked either.

  3. excellent, I need to get dirt 3 cause i need a new game

  4. 2GB is nice. I still play GTA4 and that helps. I like maxing everything

  5. Id like to see if two of these would be as good as a HD6990.

  6. you ever hear of the return key?

  7. Good card, but im holding fire until the end of the year, until the refreshed cards come out.

    PC market is dead anyway, nothing happening within it 🙁 games all suck lately

  8. Whats up with the box? did they cut the dual fan cooler out at the last minute?

  9. so many of these cards out now its hard to keep track. I think ill wait until the 7 series before upgrading, my old 4 series still manages to play most of the games on my 17 inch screen. Best waiting for the new mid range boards whenever they are out.

  10. This card seems the ultimate 6000 series bang for buck card, runs cool/silent, low power requirements and can be tweaked to outperform the 6970 by a large margin. I need this card sooner then later please!
