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 comparable throughout reviews.
This engine favours AMD hardware. We can see that this is the first time the MSI R7970 Lightning has outperformed the overclocked KFA2 GTX680 solution. Regardless the results are fantastic, averaging over 100 frames per second.
Excellent card, i was planning on buygin a GTX680 but im loooking at the MSI board too
What is their warranty system like in the UK? its important and very few people ever mention it.
Their 4GB version would be better for 3 screens, its around £70 more however.
Its for a small audience and the card looks like it is well made, although that thermal paste screenshot is quite scary. I would love to know how many people (not just KFA2 cards), are running with that amount of thermal paste on their GPU cooler. many people dont realise that too much thermal paste is worse than not enough as it causes massive heat issues for the core and can cause long term failure.
I wonder how KFA2 sales are developing in the UK, there seems to be too much competition for another new starter. are they related to BFG? their artwork styling looks very similar.
KFA2 is a spinoff of Galaxy Tech.
