AcousticsNoise is generally the bain of most consumers lives and in the hope of finding the quietest operation, we feel it’s necessary to show you the audio level of components. We use the same components throughout this test and use a sound level meter to record the audio level of the system with a passive graphics card installed. Once we have the level recorded with the passive card, we continue to change the graphics card for the one that we are testing. Due to us having the audio level recorded before installation, it gives us a guide to work with and shows that anything over our initial level is an audio gain.
When testing the audio levels of the card, we find that at idle it performed the quietest but only by a very small amount, whilst at load was a similar story, but did show for some good comparisons against the 6870 IceQ from the same company.
I think its fortunate it even got a Bronze award when the whole reason the card was designed doesn't even work, what a stupid card
It works as a 6970, but for that extra for a feature that doesn't work, it makes it a stupid buy and yeah i agree that it was lucky to get bronze.I've already seen a couple of other sites sugarcoat it and say it's a good card even if hydra doesn't work. No it's really not, it's a terrible card that the 6950's kept up with most of the time and are a damn sight cheaper.Hate it when sites can't be honest about it in the fear of upsetting sponsors.
Very lucky to get Bronze award :confused: It looks bad, it sounds bad and its perform bad. Cant agree more with you Andy.
Green team wins
