Well who would have thought it, the first uber L33T review of the 6870 is out, and boy what a card.
After all the speculation and contemplation of just how uber great and fantastic this card will be we at last have and answer.
Not only does this card talk the talk, it walks the walk.
Enough of the talk on to the test bench:
Test rig:
Processor: i7 980x @ 6Ghz
Memory: 24 gig of ddr3@ 3000Mhz
Motherboard: EVGA X58 SLI Classified
Cooler: LN2
HDD: 4 x Corsair 256gb extreme series in raid0
Graphics card: ATI 6870
It was tested vs a GTX 480 for a fair comparison.
Conclusion:
As you can see this ground breaking card does even better at super high resolutions.
Who could say no to this at the price, with a price tag of little over 4 years wages its a snip.
I for one will be buying 4 cards for quadfire, as the scaling has been reported at 170%, more if you add more cards.
This product gets a 10 thumbs up for UBER L33T Reviews
Note: this review is strictly fictional, and similarity to actual performance of the card is not only down right unrealistic but completely coincidental
