AMD HD7870 and HD7850 Graphics Card Review

Homefront’s PC version was developed by Digital Extremes, a Canadian developer responsible for numerous Unreal Tournament games and Bioshock ports. It received mixed reports, although Kitguru really likes the single player aspect of this title. The engine isn’t the most demanding on the market, but it requires decent partnering hardware for solid frame rates at 1080p.

Performance from both cards is very strong, with the HD7870 slotting in right behind the HD7950, averaging a few frames less each second. The HD7850 manages to slightly outperform the GTX570 with this engine.

  1. Looks like a winner from AMD. UK get shafted on price though, always do,

  2. yeah, thats what im talking about. I was hoping more for £250 and £200 though. if the 7870 is £300 thats not much cheaper than 7950 which is now £350 in some places.

    Awesome, the 7850 is on my list, depending on the price. no where has them, when are they released?

  4. Loads of overclocking potential with the 7850. look forward to seeing the sapphire dual fan version when it hits. my only concern is US pricing. if 7870 is over £300 its f*cked. it needs to be £280 and 7850 needs to be £220 or less.

  5. AMD’s pricing is all wrong, that the killer. they are charging way too much for everything lately. and they complain about intel price fixing? the sooner nvidia get theirs cards out the b etter. then they will have to drop the price.
