About This Product
The PowerColor HD 6870 X2 is a dual-GPU graphics card from the AMD Radeon HD 6000 series, featuring two HD 6870 GPUs on a single PCB. With 1GB GDDR5 VRAM per GPU and a 256-bit memory interface, it offers performance comparable to a single high-end card of its era. This card is suitable for older games at 1080p resolution, but its dual-GPU nature can lead to scaling issues in some titles. It requires significant power and a large case due to its dual-slot width.
Pros
- Good performance for its generation
- Suitable for 1080p gaming in older titles
- Dual DVI, HDMI, and mini-DisplayPort outputs
Cons
- High power consumption (300W TDP)
- Dual-GPU scaling issues in some games
- Outdated architecture for modern titles
