Sapphire HD 6950 Toxic Edition 2GB Review

Homefront is speculative fiction, set in a near-future, post peak oil world that features a significantly diminished United States, and a united Korea that has built a massive alliance in East Asia. The Gate Corporation (a major private military company) also plays a minor role. The game focuses on the collapse of the United States, subsequent occupation by the Greater Korean Republic—a united Korea under the rule of Korea—and the American Resistance that fights said occupation. The player is invited to join the American Resistance, “using guerrilla tactics, commandeering military vehicles, and utilizing advanced drone technology”.

Homefront’s PC version has been outsourced to Digital Extremes, a Canadian developer responsible for numerous Unreal Tournament games and Bioshock ports. Frank Delise, the executive producer of the PC version has stated that the PC version of the game will feature exclusive content and dedicated servers. Additional exclusive features include clan support, DirectX 11 graphics, and first person vehicle cockpits.

This game was slated when it was released, but we really enjoyed it in the Kitguru offices. We averaged 55 fps, dropping to 35 fps in the more intensive game sections.

  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!
