Sapphire HD7970 Overclock Edition (Dual-X) 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.

Dead Island runs perfectly well with a HD7770, so a HD7970 is overkill. Nonetheless we can see the benefits with the higher end hardware, averaging over 170 frames per second at these settings.

  2. They have been releasing good cards for a while now, those new coolers and fans are great.

  3. Much as we would expect from Sapphire. dont see any stock anywhere yet sadly.

  4. OMG, this card is a MONSTER, I cant believe it slaps the nvidia GTX590 around like its nothing, OMG – OMG, nvidia is in big trouble if this card is coming around nvidia`s release, i feel sorry for all the nvidiot fan boy that gonna get butt hurt… why sapphire, why?

  5. Great card, but I prefer the appearance of the XFX cards. they just look better with that metal cooler.

  6. that overclock is f&*king wicked.

  7. How do you switch between the two bios settings? Is it complicated? Thanks!!

  8. Hi Ryan. Next to the crossfire connectors is a little switch. Power the system down, flip the switch. reboot.

    Done.

  9. wonder what’s the vrm temp after overclocking with added core voltage? thanks…
