Videocards/VGA Reviews by petervandamned @ 2011-12-20
On the market from april 2011. Still ATI's fasted single GPU card. Before the new 7000 serie hits the market, we will have a look and tests on MSI's R6970 Lighting. Fast enough with the normal air Twin Frozr III as we can see in the tests.
We set up a normal system like you probably will use at home:
Intel 2500K overclocked at 5gig 1.425 volt WC cooled by an
Patriot 4GB DDR3 Viper Xtreme 2133 Mhz
Intel SSD 80 gig 320 serie x 2 in raid 0
Some volt meters and all mounted on a Dimastech bench table
Everthing powered by a
Antec High Current Pro 1200 watt Power Supply
We need some benching software, already used in the MSI's R6870 Hawk review.
First new comer is a Formula 1 test. Codemaster F1 2011 is the logical follow up of the 2010 version:

This one is blasting big holes and truely looking amazing.
Second one in the line of fire is an oldy but still a goody. Ubisoft's Far Cry 2 made in 2008, 2012 will be the launch of FC3. This is a very reliable benchmark, mostly scaling very well with extra GPU, CPU and/or ram power.
Third in line will be Electronic Arts Crysis 2 game
And for the last game test we picked Mafia 2 :
Ending with 3Dmark's Vantage :
