Club3D HD7870 Royal King 2GB Graphics Card 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.

Performance is almost identical to the class leading GTX580 of the last generation, averaging 67.7 frames per second with this Direct X 11 tessellation heavy benchmark.

  1. Its a problem when sapphire are constantly pushing new boundaries with their coolers.

  2. I could tell on the first page that the cooler wasnt going to be good. It might work on the hD7850 as its much cooler running.

  3. Its a nice looking little card actually, very neat and the size of the actual PCB.

    Sadly that cooler is never going to work, lok at the size of the aluminum heatsink, its much too small for a start. its more suited to a HD7770.

    Never seen their cards for sale here anyway, first ive read about them, ever.

  4. The cooler does look almost identical to the HD7770 model, I doubt its any different http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-hd-7770-ghz-edition.html

    its how companies save money between ranges, but it normally works from a higher spec model to a lower spec model, not the other way around

  5. Avoid this card at all costs, I had the royalqueen version and it was so loud I couldnt live with it. I had it returned and got an XFX card, it was so quiet and about 15c cooler.

  6. this info about graphics card is very completly,,tank,s
