Unigine Heaven became very popular very fast, because it was one of the first major DirectX 11 benchmarks. It makes great use of tessellation to create a visually stunning...heaven.
Both the graphics cards performed very well during the Unigine 2.1 benchmark and again it was the higher resolutions that brought out their best in comparison to the Fermi graphics cards. Equally impressive is that the Cayman cards performed better any other graphics card at their price point during this test. This leads us to conclude that the new architectural improvements greatly improve the tessellation performance, and that the 2GB of available memory decreases the performance loss while increasing the in-game resolution.

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.
