Asus HD6970 Direct CU II Review – the ultimate 6970 ?

Mafia II is a gritty drama which chronicles the rise of World War II veteran Vito Scaletta, the son of Sicilian immigrants. As the game progresses, Vito will join the Falcone Crime Family and become a made man. There are 15 chapters in the game, connected into one storyline.

We tested at 2560×1600 with fullscreen: on, antialiasing:on , Anisotrophic filtering: 16x, Shadow Quality: High, Ambient Occlusion: on, Geometry Detail: High and APEX PhysX: medium.

nVidia's GTX570 leads the performance pack by a huge margin. The Asus card on test today doesn't have a high enough overclock to outperform the GTX460 OC, but it only falls a single frame behind, with better performance with minimum frame rates.
