Introducing AMD’s “Turks” – HD 6670 and HD 6570
F1 2010
F1 2010 is a racing game based on the 2010 season of the Formula One world championship and the sequel to the 2009 video game in the same series. It was released in September 2010 by Codemasters. The EGO 1.5 engine powers it. The weather system is one of the best seen in a racing game and requires the player to adjust to changing track conditions. Watch out for bad AI drivers! First we test at 1920×1200 using ultra settings with the built-in benchmark.
We have unacceptable dips in the minimums for our target cards, especially the HD 6570 which sputters around the track. The HD 6970 keeps pace with the GTX 460. Now we test at 1680×1050.
Now the HD 6670 has the advantage over the GTS 450.
great review mark! Huge piles of data, thats what i love about the abt. I totally agree with your conclusion which is spot on. Given the gts450 and hd5770 may not be around for much longer these cards should be a great option in the future but for now there are some really nice price/performance options in the same bracket and they just dont shine through them. In time they may fall in place when some of these killer deals from the last generation slowly slip out of the picture.
