Sapphire HD7790 OC Review

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature

-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

Many people still use this older Direct X 10 benchmark as a guideline for performance. We can see the HD7850 claims the top spot by a clear margin, followed by the HD7790, scoring just under 20,000 points.

  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.
