F1 2011 is the newest Direct X 11 racing game from industry pioneers CodeMasters. The 2011 Formula One season is the 62nd FIA Formula One season. The original calendar consisted of twenty rounds, including the inaugural running of the Indian Grand Prix before the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix. Pirelli returns to the sport as tyre supplier for all teams, taking over from Bridgestone. Red Bull Racing are the reigning Constructor’s Champions. Red Bull Racing’s Sebastian Vettel is the defending Drivers’ Champion, one of five World Champions appearing on the grid.
Another great racing game from Codemasters and one that looks stunning on a 50 inch television set. All the XFX ‘DD' cards have no problems at these high settings, with even the HD6790 DD maintaining solid frame rates.
The more expensive cards obviously generate smoother frame rates overall, especially if you have sensitive eyes and can notice a difference when a racing game is running at 60 fps.
Very nice indeed, HD6870 is by far b est value, thats a bargain.
Excellent, I agree HD6870 is best and its very well priced. I dont get paid for 2 weeks sadly 🙁
Thought they had vanished off the face of the earth there for a while. nice to see them back … with a bang.
Never mind the 6870, the 6790 is really more than most people would ever need, quite surprised how well it performs even at 1080p. But for the small price increase, 6870 is much better value.
Very good, thanks for review.
I like XFX< always had good luck with their cards. shame they stopped the cool X shaped boxes they used to have.
are they the first to have used a direct touch heatpipe cooler like this?
Two of the HD6870s seem best to me, just a little more than one of the 6950’s.
They should lower the 6950 price to £199 inc vat IMO or even £190.
Great review man, im really looking at one of those 6790s for my media center, but it seems poor value when the 6870 is only 25 quid more.
6870 FTW. those are great cards. XFX DD version is a bargain, orfered one.
really cool. And the price isn’t really bad…
