XFX HD6850 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.

Yet again, the XFX HD6850 in Crossfire is right behind the eVGA GTX460 FTW SLI in Sli at 850mhz core. The XFX solution trails by around 6 frames per second however it is worth considering that the XFX HD6850 CFx costs £300 while the eVGA GTX460 FTW retails for around £350.

In single card mode, the HD6850 scores slightly more than the reference clocked GTX460, another strong showing for XFX.
