Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of its titular character, Max Payne. Max Payne 3 features a similar over-the-shoulder camera as its predecessors, with the addition of a cover mechanic, while also retaining much of the same run-and-gun style of gameplay. Max Payne 3 also marks the return of bullet-time in action sequences, for which the franchise is notable.
In bullet-time it is possible to see every bullet strike an enemy in detail. New to the series is a “Last Stand” mechanic, which gives the player a grace period after losing all health during which time the player may kill the enemy that wounded them in order to continue playing, however this mechanic is only usable if the player has one or more bottles of painkillers in their possession.
This game proves a little much for the HD7870 Black, even with the improved bandwidth and architectural changes. This title needs an overclocked HD7970 to achieve smooth performance at these settings.
for F*(k sake, I got a 7870 for my downstairs pc. sighs……..
My own HD7870 scores 2.1k less in 3dmark 11. yeah thats a nice upgrade for the same price as the last HD7870.
looks like a good card, I like the cooler design, its very neat. not like some of those HIS monsters which take up 1/3 extra space.
all the free games with it is cool too.
ordered one, cant wait 🙂
Will this be available in the US soon and if yes, at what price can we expect this to launch at? I’m very interested in it.
Hi alex, i would say it will hit there, pricing should be similar… Worth checking newegg. Other partners will have them in the new year, so ive been told.
Powercolor has this card now, it’s the mystery edition 7870pcs+. I’m wondering if any full cover waterblock would fit these cards?
