Metro 2033 puts you right in the middle of post apocalyptic Moscow, battling Mutants, rivals and ratio-active fallout. The game is very graphics intensive and utilizes DX11 technology, making it a good measure of how the latest generation of graphics cards performs under the latest standard.
The DX11 performance in Metro 2033 wasn't quite as impressive as some of the previous tests, but the performance increase over the Cypress and Barts based cards is quite substantial.

Nice detailed review, great extensiveness.
Thanx
What do you guys think? Is the extra $140 worth it for 2 6870's?
Personally in that scenario I would get a HD 6970 because it has similar performance, a lower power requirement and would be cheaper after you sell your card.
Anywho... no amazing performance here, and not expected. But it is great to see them competing in the high end again. The performance/mm^2 of die space is incredible compared to nvidia
Great card, great review.
brilliant review.
somehow i dont think you were all that impressed.
from a stability point of view do you think that people migrate to the 570 instead of taking this new 6970 up?
For ATI some users complain of impossible instability as well, not sure what that's about as I haven't had issues but I'm sure there are those who can't figure them out and give up. I know that for some games like BC2 they've had struggles getting CF stable in the past which is stressful.
To call it a question of stability is a bit extreme/unnecessary, both cards operate out of the box. They play games and they both have their own set of issues in the software support right now and will progress to resolve them. Nothing is perfect but it's always a little better than the last time the companies released a product.
I was very impressed with the review for sure, a lot of data for me to crunch/compare with. I was not that impressed with the cards themselves. It's as if nVIDIA was tipped on ATI specs and clotheslined them. I'm even suspective of slightly higher then recent ATI clocks as a subtle response, if not even more with the month extra delay. Also was very tired last night, just like now actually.
