Resident Evil 5, known in Japan as Biohazard 5, is a survival horror third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the seventh installment in the Resident Evil survival horror series, and was released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13, 2009 in North America and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Windows version of the game was released on September 15, 2009 in North America, September 17 in Japan and September 18 in Europe. Resident Evil 5 revolves around Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar as they investigate a terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictional town in Africa.
Within its first three weeks of release, the game sold over 2 million units worldwide and became the best-selling game of the franchise in the United Kingdom. As of December, 2009, Resident Evil 5 has sold 5.3 million copies worldwide since launch, becoming the best selling Resident Evil game ever made.
Resident Evil 5 is a particular favourite running on AMD hardware and we see great results from both Sapphire HD6870 and HD6850. The HD6870 averages over 97 frames per second, just behind the HD5870 and HD5770 in CFx. The 1ghz clocked GTX460 tops the pile with over 109 frames per second.
The Sapphire HD6850 manages to beat the reference clocked GTX460 and the superclocked 768mb GTX 460, both trailing by 6-8 frames.
Your 6850 have 1120 sharders. o_o”
these are really good cards, love the performance and price.
Excellent boards those, really look the part and performance is awesome. overclocking is great !
Shit… haha 6850 is a killer card and guess what? its right in the price range im looking at 😀
Only thing i can say reading other reviews is that the 6850 reference cooler is pretty weak. These sapphire cards look great for the money 😀 (6850) will reserve judgement til i seem overclocked 6870s
Killer card indeed, couldnt agree more.
HD6870 is good, but I dont like reference designs, too noisy/hot/ I will wait for sapphires or XFXs custom cooling one.
HD6870 is the one I would get, but not reference version. will wait a month for vapor X or toxic version.
6870 reference design is a waste, waiting on other solutions
the hd6870 isn’t my first choice until they get third party products out of the stable,
Its always the way with launches, but its weird AMD have let their partners make third party solutions for 6850s
over clocked HD6870s might be hard to get out the door with such poor over clocks on the core. seems both boards max out around 950
While these cards aren’t awe inspiring, when you look at the price 150 for a 6850. about the same as the 5770. 25% more performance, looks good.
those overclocks on the 50 are great. id say overclocked versions will be out really soon. vapor x anyone ?
As JC stated, this 6850 has 1120 shaders instead of the default 960…
The bottom gpuz screenshot is for the 6870
I get the same 3dmark vantage score as this HD6850. I was hoping I might even up with a 1120 shader version but sadly not 🙁
@ Jon
I saw in another review that they managed to get the Sapphire 6870’s core clock to 1000mHz stable. I’m sure if put under water, these cards will have a bit more overclocking headroom anyway.
