It's the down-side of Radeon cards being so good in recent years that expectations have been raised to such levels that a card giving 23000 P-Score in 3D Mark Vantage can be considered disappointing. A large part of our disappointment came from the excellent GTX570 performance and the reality that we can't review things as if they exist in a vacuum. Undoubtedly the HD6970 is a great card, but when you look at the marketplace as a whole it is, as we said a couple of days ago, perfectly fine.
