Sapphire Special Edition HD6970 and HD6950 CFx Multi Screen 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.

Alien V Predator is based around an intensive Direct X 11 engine and Crossfire scaling is impressive from the AMD boards, with three HD6970's capable of delivering an average of around 133 frames per second. The HD6970 averages 57 frames per second while the HD5870 is 4 frames per second slower. The HD6950 averages 51 frames per second and the HD5850 42 frames per second, a very solid increase indeed.
