Dead Island is a first person horror action-adventure video game developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver for Microsoft Windows. It is centered on the challenge of survival on a zombie-infested open world island with a major emphasis on melee combat. It is rather good fun, for a short while, but it becomes repetitive.
Not the most demanding engine, especially for these cards. Both Turbo cards average around 145 frames per second at these settings.
very nice, a little expensive for my wallet right now however.
The names ARE VERY confusing, turbo, then non turbo, the X versions. They need to work out better names for them all. as I thought OCUk were selling the plain turbo one, but its the non turbo one. The pricing is a little high too. some of the 7950’s are 299.
The turbo version (non X), that cooler is huge. I dont think it would cause a problem in a case, but it seems excessive. Performance is good.
Problem with HIS is availability, even in the UK. only OCUK seem to stock them and they often dont stock them all.
Niether of these are available. only way to get them is the competition you are running now. its not good.
They are like frankenstein coolers. even the nicer looking X version is almost their attempt at jewellery.
They need a new marketing guy who can promote them better to the western audience. even their box art is sh!te.
Nothing wrong with their cards. I bought one of their AMD cards a few years ago and its still working fine. most of them are made in the same factories as the bigger names like XFX etc.
Only issue is their visibility is dire. Only one store I know has them too. All the cool cards you guys review never get sold !
That X version looks great. bit concerned about the pricing, if the model, two down is £270?
This card is under £300 and its the next range up http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards+-+AMD/Radeon+HD+7950/VTX3D+Radeon+HD+7950+3072MB+GDDR5+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+?productId=49716
People wont buy a 7870 when the 7950 is the same price.
DOnt use furmark, its not good. test temperatures with games. its more realistic
