I thought I'll just drop this here. Another dozen or so reviews in the work.
nice link, but the results seem to be varying massively. is resolution the main factor here is or is it a combination of things?

Hmm, so is worth going from a 5870 to a 6970?
i'll do some benches if it arrives tomorrow. DPD though >.<
Should have my 2 x 6950 tomorrow so I'll see what I can do.

Depends if you think an average of a 15% increase in performance is worth it or not.
Anandtech is, in my mind, the Granddaddy of tech review sites. I've found them peerless in consistency, detail and the quality of their writing too.
Everywhere else feels a little sordid, cheap and amateurish by comparison.
They are the most horrible graphs I have ever seen, wtf?
Are they in order with the legend or do we assume 4way gets the highest score through to single card gets the lowest?
Totally agree with you. The guys there really work hard at being as accurate and unbiased as they humanly can be. In truth that fearless unbiased writing does occasionally upset the odd vendor. But for my money there is not a tech site that gives as much depth and technical information as those guys do. I am still blown away by the last DDR3 ram article that Kris and Raja wrote, and not to forget the seminal work that Anand himself has done on SSD's. I do hope that they update the data with the 10.12 drivers, but I guess if they where to keep updating data for all graphic cards with each new set of drivers that the vendors release they will need twice the number of staff than what they all ready have.

the HD 6970 blows the GTX 570 out of the water for a few bucks
Just received and installed my HIS 6970 and I have a question for those of you who also have one. What are your 2D frequencies? seems to me that the well known Catalyst "bug" is preventing my card to use the proper 2D frequencies (250/150) and is instead stuck with 500/1375
