Sapphire HD7870 Overclock Edition Review

Unigine provides an interesting way to test hardware. It can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset. A lot of their customers claim that they have never seen such extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand.

Heaven Benchmark is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on advanced Unigine engine from Unigine Corp. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. Interactive mode provides emerging experience of exploring the intricate world of steampunk.

Efficient and well-architected framework makes Unigine highly scalable:

  • Multiple API (DirectX 9 / DirectX 10 / DirectX 11 / OpenGL) render
  • Cross-platform: MS Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) / Linux
  • Full support of 32bit and 64bit systems
  • Multicore CPU support
  • Little / big endian support (ready for game consoles)
  • Powerful C++ API
  • Comprehensive performance profiling system
  • Flexible XML-based data structures

We use the following settings: 1920×1080 resolution. Anti Aliasing off. Anisotrophy 4, Tessellation normal. Shaders High. Stereo 3D disabled. API: Direct X 11.

Excellent performance, slotting in behind the HD7950 by only half a frame per second.

  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.
