Dirt 3 is a rallying videogame and the third in the Dirt series of the Colin McRae Rally series, developed and published by Codemasters, although the “Colin McRae” tag has been completely removed from this iteration (having been previously been removed from American versions of previous games in the series).
We used the Ultra preset for the testing.
Dirt 3 isn't the most demanding modern day engine, but it looks fantastic, especially with a high level of anti aliasing applied, such as for this specific test. The Sapphire HD6870 managed to maintain frame rates above 40 at all times, which is a great result.
Tres bien ! very nice design. More cards should use bigger (and more) fans.
Great card, if they could get it out for £150 A lot of people would jump all over it.
Dual fan cards rock. AMD always stick with those shitty little 60mm red fans. must be a stockpile in a warehouse somewhere of 10 billion.
Been buying Sapphire for 10 years now, it aint gonna change anytime soon 😉
Can it be bought anywhere yet?
Looks much better than the reference design. 1000mhz core is great. I recently bought a new 24 inch screen and my 6770 runs out of steam with some games, might ebay it and go for one of these if the price is right.
Two of these in crossfire for under 300? you should follow up. I bet it would kick the GTX580 ass.
@Optix,
by us in the Netherlands, we can get this card for a minimum of £146 (€170) and for a average of £154 (€180) (with the current exchange rates!!)
€1 ≈ £0,85
