TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary   

AMD 6970 has come to the world to figh the NVIDIA GTX 570 and it succeeds quite well in this task. However the new AMD 6970 graphics card doesn't quite reach up to the absolute top performers. This may however change with new drivers coming out in the future. What the editors like is the relative low power consumption and the lower-than-usual noise levels (except for when in high load). Another positive feature is the possibility to connect multiple cards (more than two) via CrossFire. That one can easily revert to the standard frequencies is also good so that potential problems with overclocked cards can be easiliy fixed.

The editors liked

  • 2GB Memory
  • Cooling features
  • Strong performance/watt

The editors didn't like

  • Noisy at higher performance levels
  • Overclocking doesn't mean real world benefits
  • Expensive

TestSeek's Conclusion

The AMD HD 6970 card brings many new cool things to the table; mainly its power tuning technology. The performance is very high although not yet as good as the top performing graphics cards but this may be due to the early drivers which was used in the tests.

  • A l’heure de conclure, il est difficile de se défaire d’un avis mitigé sur le nouveau GPU qui équipe les Radeon HD 6900 tant leurs prestations varient fortement d’un jeu à l’autre. Dans le meilleur des cas nous avons observé un gain de 35% sur la Radeo...

  • Aussi silencieuse que la HD 6870,  La consommation contenue (annoncée),  Le prix
  • Le PowerTune,  Les pilotes tireront-ils pleinement parti des subtilités de conception
  • AMD compte encore sur le prix pour convaincre. La Radeon HD 6970 est vendue entre 20 et 40 euros de moins qu'une GeForce GTX 570 soit 329 euros en moyenne. L'utilisateur n'est certes pas lésé (et ne fait pas une mauvaise affaire) mais à tout miser sur...

  • Performances dans les jeux 3D, Compatibilité DirectX 11, Eyefinity, HDMI 1.4, bitstream audio HD
  • Nous attendions des performances plus élevées, Bruit du ventilateur en 2D comme en 3D, Consommation électrique en hausse, Jeux en 3D stéréoscopique difficiles à mettre en place
  • La note est un calcul par rapport aux résultats obtenus. Dans la pratique, nous sommes déçus de ce modèle qui apporte trop peu par rapport à la génération précédente. Les 10% de débit supplémentaires dans les jeux sont vite gommés par le bruit et la co...

  • A great improvement over the HD 5870, Decent under-the-hood enhancements
  • Struggles against Nvidia competition, Quite pricey at launch
  • Given that we've already seen this sort of performance in a sub-£300 card the HD 6970 loses much of its shine...
