AMD Radeon HD 6990 Dual-GPU Graphics Card Review

For fans of the original Mafia game, having to wait an incredible eight years for a sequel must’ve been tough. But as we found out in our review, the wait might be forgotten as the game is quite good. It doesn’t feature near as much depth as say, Grand Theft Auto IV, but it does a masterful job of bringing you back to the 1940’s and letting you experience the Mafia lifestyle.

Manual Run-through: Because this game doesn’t allow us to save a game in the middle of a level, we chose to use chapter 7, “In Loving Memory…”, to do our runthrough. That chapter begins us on a street corner with many people around, and from there, we run to our garage, get in our car, and speed out to the street. Our path ultimately leads us to the park, and takes close to two minutes to accomplish.

Across both our Dirt 2 and Just Cause 2 results, we’ve seen that in some cases, the CrossFireX’d HD 6970s could surpass the performance of a single HD 6990, and with Mafia II, that fact remained consistent. Except here, the delta wasn’t a mere 1 FPS, but rather 2~4 FPS when taking the pre-OC clocks into consideration.
