VTX3D HD7870 Black Review (Tahiti LE)

Aliens V Predator has proved to be a big seller since the release and Sega have taken the franchise into new territory after taking it from Sierra. AVP is a Direct X 11 supported title and delivers not only advanced shadow rendering but high quality tessellation for the cards on test today.

To test the cards we used a 1080p resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on. We use this with most of our graphics card testing so cards are comparable throughout reviews.

Strong performance from the VTX3D HD7870 Black, averaging 78 frames per second at these settings, just behind the HD7950.

  1. for F*(k sake, I got a 7870 for my downstairs pc. sighs……..

  2. My own HD7870 scores 2.1k less in 3dmark 11. yeah thats a nice upgrade for the same price as the last HD7870.

  3. 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.

  4. ordered one, cant wait 🙂

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Powercolor has this card now, it’s the mystery edition 7870pcs+. I’m wondering if any full cover waterblock would fit these cards?
