HIS HD6870 CrossFireX Review

Aliens V Predator has proved to be a big seller since the release and Sega have taken the franchise into new territory after taking it from Sierra. AVP is a Direct X 11 supported title and delivers not only advanced shadow rendering but high quality tessellation for the cards on test today.

To test the cards we used a 1080p resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on. We use this with most of our graphics card testing so cards are comparible throughout reviews.

The HIS HD6870 really delivers the goods with the AvP engine, scoring 92 fps. The minimum frame result is 12 fps higher than the eVGA GTX460 FTW Sli cards which is very impressive.

The single HIS HD6870 scores slightly more more than the single eVGA GTX460 FTW card and outperforms the previous generation HD5850 by a couple of frames.

  1. Boring reference design but crossfire performance is fantastic.

  2. Their pricing is fantastic, there are price wars aplenty right now, they seem to be dropping every day !

  3. HD6870 is still disappointing I think compared to 6850, but we will only be able to judge it when third party versions hit the market.

  4. These are down to 179 quid in the UK today !

  5. The pricing is different on every store I visit,. its a bit of a nightmare getting set figures for either 70 or 50.

  6. wicked. two 6850s in CFX for me.

  7. Excellent pricing but 460 is still good

  8. I like the fact they have quietened the card down compared to reference design, however does anyone like the reference cooling? seems madness to buy now when we all know that better coolers will be announced for the same price in a month.

  9. The 6870s are impressive but the 6850’s are bullshit because amd sumbitted 6850 with 1120 cores(6870) instead of 960 or whatever which proves that the results for the 6850 were just liek downclocked 6870s

  10. as I said in the other discussion. not all 6850s had the higher count.

  11. I realised sorry 🙂
