Sapphire HD7790 OC Review

Dirt Showdown is the latest title in the franchise from Codemasters, based around the famous Colin McRae racing game series, although it no longer uses his name, since he passed away in 2007.

We configured the game at the ULTRA preset with a 1080p resolution and 8x MSAA.

Dirt Showdown is an intensive Direct X 11 title which favours AMD hardware. The HD7770 Core manages smooth frame rates, although they drop under 30 frames per second in some levels. The HD7790 OC pushes the rates into another zone, smoothing out the experience. As always, the HD7850 is top of our chart.

  1. You guise were busy at 04.01 AM xD

  2. Good looking card from Sapphire, not so sure of the range however, pricing looks off.

  3. HD7850 is the best of the bunch, they used to £180, now you can get one for under £130.

  4. Good review. looks like a good buy if they replaced the HD7770 with this one at the same £100 price. Can’t see this card online, interested to see how much of a premium the OC and cooler will cause.

  5. I like the intro and conclusion, very true points on pricing. And this audience are all about price. some reviews just overlook it completely.

  6. Do you know Scan have the XFX HD7850 for £127 today !

  7. Fat Bloke with beard

    Unless AMD force up the price of the HD7850 to sell HD7790 this wont work. people will get pissed too. HD7850 at under £140 rocks.
