Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.
The Sapphire HD6870 Dual Fan Edition scores just over 17,000 points, falling in behind the HD5870 and above the reference clocked card.
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
