Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate Review

Tomb Raider received much acclaim from critics, who praised the graphics, the gameplay and Camilla Luddington’s performance as Lara with many critics agreeing that the game is a solid and much needed reboot of the franchise. Much criticism went to the addition of the multiplayer which many felt was unnecessary. Tomb Raider went on to sell one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and has sold 3.4 million copies worldwide so far.

While Nintendo has not fully detailed the hardware inside of the Switch 2, we are finally starting to get details on the chip powering the system. According to Digital Foundry, the Switch 2 utilises a custom Nvidia T329 processor, which means it uses graphics technology similar to what we can find in RTX 30 series GPUs.

  1. no single slot? well that sucks… HTPC users need single slot cards.

  2. Harris, AMD cards output a lot of heat, building this into a single cooler design would be not feasible, based on the temperature results Kitguru recorded.

    AMD need the Maxwell architecture for this. I am surprised Nvidia haven’t released a single slot passively cooled MAXWELL based card, but I am sure it is coming soon.

  3. Including the previous Sapphire Ultimate (HD 7750) in the test comparisons would have be very helpful. Next time?
