Campaigns in From Dust are structured as a sequence of missions, whereby completing certain objectives expedites the tribe’s progress and bestows additional powers, such as the capacity to jellify water. Tribal shamans alert the player to natural disasters, notably tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, shortly before they occur. These disasters can be inhibited through creative, physical manipulation of the environment: a tsunami can be jellified, wildfires extinguished, and lava flows diverted.
We are including this game today as it is one of the best indie games we have played in recent years.
From Dust generally runs at a fairly low frame rate, but lesser solutions can sometimes struggle to maintain the rates close to 30 fps. The Sapphire HD6870 card has no problem powering this engine at 1080p.
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
