Sapphire HD7850 Overclock Edition Review

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.

The overclocked Sapphire HD7850 almost catches up with the HD6970 in this test, falling only 2 frames per second behind.

  1. Excellent, nice little card, I do think it will cost more than £200 however as even some of the basic cards are 195.

    The XFX cards look much nicer IMO, but the cooler on the Sapphire cards is well thought out. Every card has a different cooler construction too, XFX tend to use the same cooler and heatpipe config between a whole range of cards, which works well on the mid or low level card, but not so good on the higher end model.

  3. Nice lookin card, again from sapphire

  4. If one fan would break, you will have to buy a new full heatsink solution because is impossible get a replacement of one fan. Bad for Sapphire.
