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 1920×1080 resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on.
All of the cards can handle this game at 1920×1080 without dropping below 30 frames per second at any time. The Asus HD7850 scales well in Crossfire, jumping from an average of 56fps to 110 fps. The Asus GTX760 Direct CU Mini averages 91 frames per second for super smooth gameplay.
The 760 mini is lovely – really nice idea, if a little expensive.
The cards are good, but the cooler on the 760 is too small to really be that good for such a high end board – I would rather get a case that can take a full sized GPU, even if it was small, like a prodigy.
Too bad my three month old Asus 7850 DCUII V2 can’t even reach any core clock over 960mhz without crashing while in a game. Touched nothing but the core clock and 5% power addition.
1000mhz ran fine on tests. rock solid on 3Dmark11 and MSI kompressor though. Could be a driver issue, could be a bad card. Clean install though.
Still, goes to show that overclocking is not absolutely dependable.
