Asus Matrix HD7970 Platinum Graphics Card Review

Dirt Showdown is the latest title in the franchise from Codemasters, based around the famous Colin McRae racing game series, although it no longer uses his name, since he passed away in 2007.

We enabled the game across three 24 inch screens at 5760×1080 resolution, with the settings shown above.

Dirt Showdown averages 80 frames per second at these high 3 monitor settings, around 6 fps slower than the higher clocked HIS 7970 X Turbo IceQ X2.

  1. Thats another beautiful card for AMD. Quite a few really high end, loaded boards for 7970 lovers.

    Good review thanks.

  2. ASUS deserve a lot of credit for this – I love it when companies go nuts on the design for the high end audience. Im tempted to go for this later in the year, but I agree – the Sapphire HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition looks to be a slightly better deal all round.

  3. Zardon – top review bro. I still think the GTX680 is the best value for money high end card on the market however. you can pick up a killer one for £380

  4. Im not a fan of triple slot coolers – I think in this case it has helped ASUS lower the noise levels which is welcomed, but they are huge cards and take up so much space in a case. I think Sapphire 6GB Toxic is still the best, but the extramemory really isn’t needed for most people/situations
