HIS HD7970 Crossfire Review

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

We are using the built in benchmark which is available via the STEAM client for this game. You can compare directly against your own system with these results.

If you like Shogun 2, then one of these cards is more than enough for smooth performance on a 2560×1600 resolution screen. Adding another dramatically improves performance, averaging over 130 fps at 1080p and almost 200 fps at 720p resolutions.

  1. One of these cards is expensive enough, cant believe anyone would need two of these !

  2. not much of a deal to make me want HIS over anyone else. XFX card looks by far the best. surprised they beat sapphire out of the block with a modified card.

  3. What are HIS like for warranty terms in the UK? Some of these far east brands have little support in UK.

  4. the problem is the UK pricing is all over the place. between £440 and £540 and most of them are reference designs. get the cheapest card I say if you want one./
