Sparkle GTX650 OC Dragon Series Review

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.

This Direct X 10 engine was perfectly playable at 1080p with 8 times anti aliasing enabled, averaging 67 frames per second. We are seeing a pattern now. The Sparkle GTX650 OC Dragon Series is slightly faster than the AMD HD7750, but a little slower than the HD7770.

  1. Seems like a decent card for the money. good for a media center, but may they will bring out a single slot version.

  2. Its a good point, I remember when a low end card struggled to get good frame rates at 1280×1024.

  3. > It is worth pointing out that onboard graphics solutions just don’t make the grade for me, as I crave the highest image quality possible, only achievable from either Nvidia or AMD discrete solutions.

    This might be about to change with the release of AMD’s desktop trinity parts (rumoreded for the 1st of October)

  4. I would really like to see this card tested at more appropriate resolution and details. Its a $100 card its not meant to push 8AA@fullhd res.

  5. The fact it can though is pretty incredible ! I was amazed to see it can cope with many engines at 1080p. I dont know anyone who games at 720p anymore anyway. but you can be sure it will cope with it if it can at 1080p
