Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan.
We measured performance over several of the more intensive levels with hundreds of units on screen. Our results would be firmly a ‘worst case scenario’.
No problems playing Shogun 2 on any of the solutions, even at these ultra high settings at 2560×1600. The frame rate with a single card is averaging 68 frames per second, and this increases to 95 frames per second when adding another in.
well thats a lot of cash for that system lol. Interesting to see the staggering power demands.
my friend still cant buy one HD7990 never mind two, no stock anywhere. any ideas when they might be available?
More positive than the article in January, I read that and thought AMD weren’t supporting quad cf at all. I guess at that stage the HD7990 wasn’t official.
Good information on the power demands, I think a lot of people think every gaming system needs a 1000W PSU.
LOL, I was jockingly expecting the ‘MUST HAVE’ tag and you didn’t disappoint me at all.
@just a passerby. you should look at the more ‘budget’ oriented articles. people who want the fastest system and the most powerful computer would consider this a must have. I want a HD7990 and am saving up for it. due to the power with 3 monitors. Nothing is faster.
These reviews are hardly designed for people who struggle to afford a GTX650.
good review.
@Alex
I think ‘Worth Buying’ tag is more appropriate, not ‘Must Have’ but I was jokingly expecting it.
So internet denizen nowadays can decide what others should read, eh?
As cocky as a person can be, you fit the word perfectly. Maybe you’re born to have that personality.
I don’t need a graphic card as I don’t do gaming but I do fond reading hardware reviews. Also there is no such a thing ‘nothing is faster’, such thinking is a retardation to technology advancement. Well, of course if you had written it as ‘for now, nothing is faster in the market’, I would agree, but never forget engineering sample of next gen do exist (to be fair quadxfire/ quadsli it) and of course even you will struggle to afford it right now :).
You can feel free to give me those HD 7990s, I will gladly take them off your hands,besides I need to upgrade from my 2 Sapphire ATI Radeon 2gb HD4850x2s I have in quad-CrossfireX.
