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.
For this Max Payne 3 test we set the anti aliasing to 2x and Tessellation to High, enabling Direct X 11. At these settings, the game demanded 1813MB of memory.
Max Payne 3 ran very well on both AMD solutions, but we experienced a crash with the GTX690 which we couldn't fix for the review.
dear lord, my epenis is so small right now 🙁
Seems like a great price point, even though it costs as much as my system im working on right now!
Bit of a bargain for the high end gamers with loads of disposable budget.
both this and the GTX690 are quite power efficient, considering!
Would have been nice to see two HD7870 Tahiti LE’s in CF, just to give a viewpoint of what could be achieved with around £400.
Good review otherwise, dream system material
Seems I got one of the five left 🙂 just in time ! thanks for review ! awesom!
what power supply will you be using Tom?
just ordered a 1000W Seasonic, as I needed to move up from my older 750W corsair.
Costly day, I hate this site sometimes 🙁
Sadly the framerates DON’T tell the whole story as Hardocp and Tech report have shown, crossfire might show higher framerates but real world game play is not as smooth as SLI.
Real world gameplay was perfectly smooth on the HD7990 with the latest AMD beta drivers – unless there is a Crossfire glitch with a specific game I didn’t test (which is possible as that can happen). I was playing games on it for a few days.
Wow, this thing is ridiculous, I need a new card lol
