HEXUS‘s review Edit

ASUS comes to the Radeon HD 6000-series party with an HD 6870 kitted out with the reference PCB and heatsink. Matching the pricing from other partners but gaining an advantage by shipping with a slightly overclocked core and handy SmartDoctor application, it makes implicit sense for readers who have already decided to go down the Radeon route. Performance is solid enough and the power credentials remain strong. Sweetening this particular package is robust overclocking potential, topping out at the magical 1,000MHz core with just a hint of extra voltage. ASUS brings a little flavour to the insipid Radeon HD 6870 cards. It represents a solid choice at £190.

The ASUS EAH6870 is a great product and a great value. Performance-wise, it is in-line with other Radeon HD 6870s and on-par with the competing GeForce GTX 470. In terms of efficiency, it is a far better choice than the GeForce GTX 470. For roughly equal performance, it consumes less power and generates less heat. While the out-of-the-box overclock doesn’t do anything to improve the gameplay experience, it doesn’t cost any more either. ASUS is selling their modestly overclocked model at AMD’s MSRP.

techPowerUp!‘s review Edit

The combination of two Radeon HD 6870 cards in CrossFire cuts loose an interesting beast. Being priced at $480, it immediately feels like a big purchase. On the other hand, it offers more price/performance than the GeForce GTX 480, Radeon HD 5870 or Radeon HD 5970, the trio of single graphics cards closest to this - and is faster than all of them. Especially against the HD 5970 we see quite a performance difference. But then, it is the maximum configuration of the HD 6870, you cannot add a third of fourth card later, if you need more performance.
