Sapphire R7 265 Dual X Graphics Card review

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third installment and a reboot of the True Crime series.As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

This game is still a system killer at these maximised settings. We test at 1920×1080.

The Sapphire R7 265 card matches the VTX3D VChamp HD7850 in average frames per second, although it holds a slightly better minimum frame rate.

  1. You know im in two minds over this.

    Firstly, for the price – wow, what a great deal.

    But another rebadge with some ‘tweaks’ from AMD? come on, its such a cop out 🙁 At least they didnt send you a reference card. makes a change!

  2. The HD7850 continues to live – to be fair its AMD’s best GPU ever. Thats my take, so plenty of life still left in it, especially for £100.

    The GTX760 is faster, but its £200, it wont be faster than two of these in Crossfire, for the same money!

  3. Im glad the 7850 is still around. I got upgraded to one under warranty when my 6870 died. Its great and it can play pretty much anything almost on full at 1080p.
    Then I did something silly and I got another one. Crossfire is really disappointing to me. There are too many games that don’t support it properly.
