Aliens V Predator has proved to be a big seller since the release and Sega have taken the franchise into new territory after taking it from Sierra. AVP is a Direct X 11 supported title and delivers not only advanced shadow rendering but high quality tessellation for the cards on test today.
To test the cards we used a 1080p resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on. We use this with most of our graphics card testing so cards are comparible throughout reviews.
The modest overclock helps push the frame rate up a little, with modest gains in both minimum and average frame rates.
I have owned several asus cards and they always have served me well. this looks a solid purchase with a fine price. cant beat £159.99 ! (well you could, £99.99 – talk to them zardon :p).
Very nice indeed. good performance all round. Quick question however, why 3 screen testing, who the hell can afford 3 monitors?
Rather boring looking board, but it performs well. temps are excellent. 65c under load is more like what I want to see.
Been waiting for a good review of this for a while, saw it on OCUk last week, didnt know if it was any good. I agree about the low overclocks. surely its not hard to crank the bios clocks a bit, its basically running at stock and can hit 1000mhz on the core !
Excellent, been waiting for this for a while. I never buy Sapphire or XFX, only Asus. I wait 🙂
Excellent all round card, doesn’t seem that quiet though which is a bit disappointing
Leather case is a weird addition for a gfx?
Poor clock choice for such a card, far too low
price of the 6850 is good, crossfire they are killer, but bot sure it’s worth it as a really fast single card doesn’t need a profile
