MSI R7970 Lightning Graphics Card Review (Twin Frozr IV)

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell March 19, 2012 Featured Announcement, Graphics

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.

CPU limiting is a problem with this engine, however we can see that the MSI R7970 Lightning performs great, averaging 175 frames per second.

    Wow… so thats £500 for a card with no copper used as a cooling material, and Aluminum used instead,
    thats a less ductile material = an inferior cooling solution, using a cheapr material for more money…

    MSI really know how to impress – or charge more for using cheaper materials!!!

    Good point from muppett, copper might have improved on the results by 1-2 c more.

    however, the end result is great as the testing shows.

    @muppet:

    Actually the Cooler material is copper, but it’s nickel coated, so it doesn’t corrode (very, VERY easy with copper)
    Only the fin array is made of Aluminium

    I take it 12.3 drivers were used for this test and the other custom 7970’s?
