HIS HD6770 IceQ X Turbo Crossfire Review
Black Ops and MoH
Published: 10th August 2011 | Source: HIS | Price: £101 |
Call Of Duty Black Ops
If you prefer your FPS games to be PC versions of console titles, then the HIS HD6770 definitely gets it done. Black Ops works perfectly fine even on a single-card and the Crossfire mainly serves to keep the minimum frame-rate at the 60 FPS mark, vital in online shooters.
Medal of Honor
Such is the woeful coding behind MoH that the extra stress the second card places on the system actually makes the minimum frame-rate performance worse than with a single card whilst not really giving us any extra headroom.

They are pretty impressive in crossfire, especially in Metro, I thought there was something wrong with the results when I saw they were on par with a 590/6990 
.
If you want a cheap crossfire set up for £202 two of these are worth it, but for a single card, as said in the review the 6850/70 are the better cards to go with.

Would you say that these 2 cards at idle are quieter than a reference 6950, and would on the whole perform better? I wonder how these cards would perform @ 5760 * 1080 across 3 monitors (not maxed out obviously)?
These cards are now £76.99 on aria so for £153.98 you can get GTX 580 beating performance!!!
these are good results for sure.....im just wondering how realistic they are tho???
im not so sure that anyone considering these cards has an X-58 mobo and i-7 processor@4GHz backing them up......
now if you used an AMD Pii 955 X4 would your results be the same???
im not say'n.......im just say'n

Well they are realistic because they are the results we obtained. However although we can understand that the kind of person seeking out a setup such as this is unlikely to run X58, that is our test setup. If we changed the underlying system every review then we couldn't compare anything to anything else and would be swamped with "but how does it compare to the xxx ??". At least this way each card is, driver changes aside, reviewed on the same rig and so you get a pure performance comparison.
Nice Review!
