Radeon HD 6970 MSI Edition Game Requirement Analysis

Radeon HD 6970 MSI Edition is basically a renamed Radeon HD 6970 and part of the Radeon HD 6000 Series released by AMD in 2010/2011.
There are no relevant features nor any tweaks and so the performance is exactly like the standard version.
All demanding games, including very demanding one's like Metro 2033/The Witcher II will run on the highest settings.
