OC3D Review HIS 6950 and 6970 Review

Excellent thanks a lot for the effort Tom !

So it was as I thought then. The 6970 does indeed sit between the 470 and 570 and the 570 is now the card to have.

What's a shame is that any one sitting on the side of the bed deciding which woman to spend the night with has now been thrust into the arms of the green bitch. It's going to be a good Christmas for Nvidia... I mean, if you weren't sure before then for £20 less at least then you can be sure now.

Ah well. Good luck to Nvidia. This should keep them from going bankrupt and keep prices fair for us gamers which is, after all, the most important part

OC3D is a team effort dude, Bryan had a large part to play as he always does in this one.
 
Well of course, that goes without saying

Beers all round it is then

Haha this feels kinda weird, but before last night the phrase on the tip of my tongue was

God, I can't wait to see what Nvidia have in response to the 69xx !

It's just a repeat of the 460 really. ATI come back with something barely as good but are late to the party..

Sorry if I missed it Tom, but how big are these cards? they look massive

Just about comes to the edge of the Rampage3 they are not that massive.
 
Ah OK fair enough. It's probably the 6990 that was the Playstation 2 with a big red fan in the end the bigger one

Hey,

thank you for the review

Can we hope for cat 10.12 update for the benchmarks? Since sites offer varying scores...
 
Great review as always guys. Not a bod offering.

Hasn't changed my mind about selling some thing so I can buy a gtx570 tho.
 
@ Tom: Do you happen to know the bios revision these cards have ? Or can find out ?

Someone here is a little baffled, especially by the poor overclocking.

EDIT: Sorry, often they're on a white sticker as what looks like a random set of numbers.

Ill try and find out dude, from the other sites I have spoken too we are all seeing the same thing, just some are reporting or wording their thoughts differently.
 
Nvidia has blitzkrieg AMD high end cards all they need to do is release 565/560 (which due to nvidia's new releasing system could be when ever) and there market dominance will be complete. Well looks like I'm going to be buying gtx 570 though SLI review would be great Tom!
 
From what I've read these cards pick up the pace when you go to extreme resolutions. I might have to keep an eye out on those new ASUS cards especially if I pick up a new monitor. That seems to be a total game changer for these cards.
 
Ok the 570 & 580 are out and also 6950 & 6970 but NO new games to take advantage of these cards, I have played every game on the planet with my 480’s with no problem at all so why would I buy a new card if the current games are all running fine & even the future games are all designed mostly for the 360 & PS3 like Crysis 2 which should run fine on a 460, I really believe we’ve got to a state were the hardware is one generation more advanced then the software & these FU...KING game consoles are killing PC gaming .
 
Disappointed

I didnt really expect that much more than my 5870 by looking at the specs. Hopefully next year ATI blows nvidia out of the water again!
 
Great reviews as always. I always like to hear unbiased reviews which actually compare the competitor products critically. It's kind of nice just listening to the review while i work, saves me having to alt+tab every 20 seconds

I have been waiting for this review since the 500 series cards, now i know (like many) that a 570 is a good way to go. "Expensive but good"
