AFOX HD7850 Single Slot Crossfire Review

Unigine provides an interesting way to test hardware. It can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset. A lot of their customers claim that they have never seen such extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand.

Heaven Benchmark is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on advanced Unigine engine from Unigine Corp. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. Interactive mode provides emerging experience of exploring the intricate world of steampunk.

Efficient and well-architected framework makes Unigine highly scalable:

  • Multiple API (DirectX 9 / DirectX 10 / DirectX 11 / OpenGL) render
  • Cross-platform: MS Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) / Linux
  • Full support of 32bit and 64bit systems
  • Multicore CPU support
  • Little / big endian support (ready for game consoles)
  • Powerful C++ API
  • Comprehensive performance profiling system
  • Flexible XML-based data structures

We use the following settings: 1920×1080 resolution. Anti Aliasing off. Anisotrophy 4, Tessellation normal. Shaders High. Stereo 3D disabled. API: Direct X 11.

A single card slots in between the overclocked Sapphire HD7770 Vapor X and the Nvidia GTX570. Adding another for Crossfire reaps huge reward, with the frame rate average improving to almost 97. This manages to outperform the Sapphire HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition at the slower bios setting, which is a great achievement.

  1. single slot for a 7850 is quite impressive. ill not want them myself, but its a good idea to get your name noticed IMO. media fanbois should love this.

  2. They would work well in the latest silverstone small form factor chassis. im tempted to build a second system now, with a liquid cooling system.

  3. Its HOTTER, LOUDER and more power hungry. Even if its single slot, its a pretty big fail if u ask me.

  4. im confused, are foxconn actually behind these or is it a different company? the name surely must mean they are linked in.

  5. @ Maxwell.

    Its less power hungry, did you read the graph wrong? also single slot cards are always going to be hotter and louder. unless they can suddenly develop new fan technology that is half the size/depth which miraculously is quieter. hasn’t happened.

    AFOX are an off-shoot of the Foxconn brand. Originally set up as a graphics division to Foxconn it soon split and became its own company.
