Sapphire HD7790 OC Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell March 22, 2013 Featured Tech News, Graphics

Valley Benchmark is a new GPU stress-testing tool from the developers of the very popular and highly acclaimed Heaven Benchmark. The forest-covered valley surrounded by vast mountains amazes with its scale from a bird’s-eye view and is extremely detailed down to every leaf and flower petal. This non-synthetic benchmark powered by the state-of-the art UNIGINE Engine showcases a comprehensive set of cutting-edge graphics technologies with a dynamic environment and fully interactive modes available to the end user.

The XFX HD7850 Core claims top spot, around 3.5 frames per second ahead of the Sapphire HD7790 OC. The Sparkle GTX650 Ti Dragon is another 1 frame per second slower. The XFX HD7770 Core claims a miserable last place.

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

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

    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.

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

    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.
