I will not be using 3D Mark 11 in the Feb issue because it does not recognise the test rigs hardware configuration. The latest hardware is not always a good thing. But good news guys NDA lifts for some of the tech tomorroww.

Good morning!

Today is the day that I tell you that I have a HD6970 and a HD6950 sitting on my desk. I don't plan to give all the details away just yet. Still running benchmarks (yesterday was a day filled with driver problems).

ya same jus had a look at the link from the post your rig thread... the jump from the 4000 series to 5000 series was huge now from 5000 to 6000 its not that big... was a lil let down but im sure drivers will get a bit more from the cards....

AMD made it clear at the press launch in October that the performance difference between the HD6000 series and the HD5000 series would not be as big as the difference between the HD5000 series and the HD4000 series

We work further ahead than that. They will be in our February issue. Unfortunately the HD6900 cards did not make it in time for our January issue which resulted in a single GTX580 review instead of seeing if the HD6970 could stand up against Nvidia's new card.

i agree wid u buddy 8) there was a lot of hype about the card so its the media's fault :lol:

IMO its still a powerful card but not to justify & upgrade from the HD5xxx range

Okay I can't keep it in any more. I have had to watch these threads go on about these cards and the new Intel processors (the stories I could tell you about these processors...).

I will comment on just the tessellation performance

The HD6970 beats the HD5970 in tesselation performance and comes within 5fps of the GTX580 at max settings on 1920x1080.
