Sapphire HD 6950 Toxic Edition 2GB Review

Resident Evil 5, known in Japan as Biohazard 5, is a survival horror third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the seventh installment in the Resident Evil survival horror series, and was released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13, 2009 in North America and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Windows version of the game was released on September 15, 2009 in North America, September 17 in Japan and September 18 in Europe. Resident Evil 5 revolves around Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar as they investigate a terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictional town in Africa.

Within its first three weeks of release, the game sold over 2 million units worldwide and became the best-selling game of the franchise in the United Kingdom. As of December, 2009, Resident Evil 5 has sold 5.3 million copies worldwide since launch, becoming the best selling Resident Evil game ever made.

Strong results from the Sapphire Toxic, falling just behind the reference clocked HD6970. This engine has always been favourable for AMD graphics hardware and the card manages to outperform the reference clocked GTX570.

  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!
