Can AMD go back to the top of the single-GPU performance stakes
TechRadar Verdict
Given that we’ve already seen this sort of performance in a sub-£300 card the HD 6970 loses much of its shine.
TODAY’S BEST DEALS

- +
Decent under-the-hood enhancements
Cons
- —
Struggles against Nvidia competition
- —
Quite pricey at launch

Finally they’ve arrived; the much-anticipated Cayman GPU-powered HD 6900 series cards from AMD. And right here we’ve got the very top-end of AMD’s latest single-GPU cards, the AMD Radeon HD 6970.
Now we’ve been waiting a fair few months for the release of these new cards, with their brand spanking new GPU, and still it’s hard to see exactly why we’ve been waiting so long.
Originally penned in for launch just after the HD 6800 cards, suddenly we saw the launch slip back and Nvidia then spoiling a party that simply didn’t exist. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 was brought out incredibly early, specifically to counter these Cayman-powered cards only to find they were still some months away from release.
AMD has remained fairly tight-lipped about the slippage. Some of our sources claimed it was simply down to money. AMD wanted the higher margins of the mid-range HD 6800 cards around Thanksgiving aiding its bottom line, whereas a few top-end HD 6900 cards wouldn’t have given them the same cash boost.
Still, I’m sure there were a fair few people who held off buying a new card until AMD had its top-end GPUs out the door, so I’m not entirely convinced about that rumour.
At a recent briefing, though, AMD blamed the PowerTune technology in its new cards as the delaying factor. But to us that sounds suspiciously similar to Nvidia blaming the delay of the GTX 480 on the design of its Tessellation engine.
It may well be a while before we know the full story.

AMD Radeon HD 6970 — Review 2011
When it comes to high-end gaming components, the question is always whether price or performance should ultimately win out.
With the AMD Radeon HD 6970 graphics card, there’s no easy answer. Priced at $369 list, it’s by any measure something of an investment for someone looking to put together a gaming machine, and it even costs $20 more than Nvidia’s own recently released GeForce GTX 570. As is usually the case with AMD, you get a lot of value with this new top-tier single-GPU card—you just don’t get either the fastest single-GPU card on the market (that would be the GTX 580), or even one that’s faster than the GTX 570 in all gaming situations. That makes the AMD Radeon HD 6970 an imperfect choice in either case, though there’s still much to recommend it.
As the ranking member in AMD’s new upper-echelon «Cayman» family, the 6970 is outfitted in a manner typical of other high-performance video cards. It’s 11 inches long, which makes its length almost identical to AMD’s previous single-GPU leader, the ATI Radeon HD 5870, and the GTX 580 (though still considerably shorter than the dual-GPU ATI Radeon HD 5970).
It requires two connections from your power supply, one six-pin and one eight-pin, as well as two expansion slots (one in a PCI Express x16 slot, and one adjoining one to accommodate the fan and heat sink assembly). According to AMD, you can expect the card to use 140 watts of power in a typical gaming scenario and 20 watts at idle. Its array of display outputs is the baseline for the 6000-series of cards: two DVI ports, two mini DisplayPort jacks, and one full-size HDMI output.
The 6970 is hardly hurting in the specs department, either, offering up to 2.7 teraflops of compute power and a core clock speed of 880 MHz. It uses the VLIW4 shader architecture and has 24 SIMD stream processors, 96 texture units, and 32 ROPs. Like the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity6 Edition card from earlier this year, the 6970 has 2GB of frame buffer, which operating over a 256-bit memory path and with a speed of 5.5 Gbps should give it plenty of room for driving multiple monitors in an AMD Eyefinity configuration.
(Also like the Eyefinity6, the 6970 can support up to six.)
As with AMD’s other recent cards, the 6970 allows the full range of DirectX 11 (DX11) rendering capabilities, such as tessellation. It also has expanded anti-aliasing support, with the 6000 series’ new Morphological Anti-Aliasing now joined by an Enhanced Quality Anti-Aliasing (EQAA) mode that can have up to 16 coverage samples per pixel and plays happily with adaptive, super-sample, and the more recent morphological anti-aliasing. The 6970 also introduces AMD’s PowerTune technology, which aids in overclocking by letting the user specify a maximum TDP (up to 200 watts) at which to constrain power usage and maintain peak performance as long as possible.
In testing the 6970 under more average-use gaming scenarios, we discovered that though it’s generally comparable to the GTX 570, that’s not the case in every situation. In fact, in ten of our tests, the GTX 570 scored higher, despite costing $20 less, and a number of the remaining results were fairly close calls.
The 6970 came out ahead well ahead in all our tests with Heaven Benchmark 2.1 and Metro 2033, at both 1,920 by 1,200 and 2,560 by 1,600 using both DX10 and DX11 shaders: It earned a nicely smooth 34.9 frames per second (fps) in the highest-resolution DX10 Heaven, a first for an AMD card (the GTX 570 could manage only 14.9 fps on that test), though both cards were low enough (below 21 fps) at 2,560 by 1,600 in Metro 2033 that we wouldn’t recommend using that resolution for the game in DX10 or DX11.
But the GTX 570 came out ahead in two of our key non-synthetic gaming benchmark tests: H.A.W.X. 2, where with 153 fps and 78 fps it trounced the 6970 (which earned 93 fps and 59 fps respectively) at both 1,920 by 1,200 and 2,560 by 1,600, and Lost Planet 2 in all four tests at both resolutions. Considering the Fermi card’s parallel-processing focus, it’s not surprising the GTX 570 did better on SiSoftware Sandra’s video rendering and GPGPU processing tests, and eked out just ahead of the 6970’s price advantage at media transcoding and in the 3DMark 11 benchmark test using the performance (1,280-by-720 preset).
Because the AMD Radeon HD 6970 and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 compete so closely, choosing a champ is no easy chore. A lot of your choice will come down to specific features: Are you more likely to want a simple way to connect lots of monitors from AMD or on-board physics processing from Nvidia, and so on. In terms of gaming performance, however, we’re going to give the tiniest of edges to Nvidia here, if only because the titles in which the GTX 570 comes out comfortably ahead (H.A.W.X. 2 and Lost Planet 2) are very new ones that use the widest range of DX11 features in real-world ways. This suggests that, in terms of overall capabilities and future-proofing, the GTX 570 might be the slightly better investment in the long run. But if you have an extra $350 or so to spend on upgrading your PC’s graphics, chances are you won’t be disappointed with the results you get from either card.
