"The 690 literally rapes everything in it's path" Love this line. Looks like a fun game, too.

Ah now that I read that back, I'll change that to something a little more decent.

Nice one Hilbert 🙂 7950 gives same fps as 670 at 2560x1600..Those new drivers must have some magic in them 🙂

Good review I like how your calling the 7970Ghz edition the 7970 Boost I like that better AMD should buy that title off of you. This is about the same results I'm getting ATM with game and my 670 FTW I'm right at the 680 with the 58 FPS in 1080p great job boss.

Good review, but I'm wondering why you have not included an Nvidia 580, the rest of the series are there but not this one :3eyes: :3eyes: 😎

No particular reason, at one point a man just runs out of time ... 🙂 23 cards are used my man. There will also be questions as to why not try the Radeon 5000 series etc ... I have to stop at some point as these tests are extremely time consuming.

Great review, thanks! I assume the ATI/AMD cards were not using the new 12.11 beta drivers?

As in the conclusion is noted, Also mind you that the Radeon cards all have been tested with the Catalyst 12.11 Beta driver and the GeForce cards with the new 310.33 Beta driver."

In the review it says "that the game is DX9 and DX10 compatible as well" Wrong. Frostbyte 2 is build on DirectX10, hence the reason why it can only run on Vista and upward.

Actually it's built on DX11.

Doh. Missed that, was reading it on the phone at the time. Good to see the latest drivers in action. Thanks.

At the end of the article the reviewer states that even the GTX480 from "2008" does a decent job. Well the GTX480 was released in March of 2010. I have two running at 900MHz core 1800 Shader and 2200MHz vMEM and in SLI they still are running every game I play at 60fps. Thats with a i7 3770 @ 4.8GHz and 2400MHz DDR3 RAM. But anyway that card is not 4.5 years old... sheesh.

Indeed. Strange is that HD 6000 series performance is so bad...
