Gigabyte Radeon HD 6870 OC Graphics Card Review

Unigine HeavenHeaven 2.1 is regarded to be one of the most intensive Benchmarking utilities about at the moment along with the likes of 3DMark. It makes use of highly comprehensive tessellation technology, advanced SSAO (screen-space ambient occlusion) and a highly defined light algorithm to produce ever changing light conditions amongst other items.

Heaven is a very intensive benchmark but is perfect for comparison purposes to see how graphics cards cope under the most extreme pressure and the 6870 OC from Gigabyte didn’t disappoint, almost hitting 30FPS is nothing to be laughed at as it really put the tessellation and extreme light effects that heaven offers in its stride.
