Sapphire HD7870 Overclock Edition Review

Aliens V Predator has proved to be a big seller since the release and Sega have taken the franchise into new territory after taking it from Sierra. AVP is a Direct X 11 supported title and delivers not only advanced shadow rendering but high quality tessellation for the cards on test today.

To test the cards we used a 1080p resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on. We use this with most of our graphics card testing so cards are comparable throughout reviews.

A demanding Direct X 11 engine, although no performance concerns for the Sapphire HD7870 Overclock Edition, averaging 70 frames per second.

  1. Another good card from the Sapphire team 🙂

  2. Great cards. My friend bought one and its really quiet. the coolers are great this year.

  3. Bought the 7970 last week 🙂

  4. Quality cards, but its a tough decision id have to base on price right now. as they all overclock much the same.

  5. Its XFX or Sapphire usually, but that gigabyte card is a solid buy,

    Only one problem. YOU CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE !!!”

  6. nice specs. good performance sapphire coolers seem a bit better than XFX coolers in regards to tempeatures.
