VTX3D Radeon HD7970 X Edition Review

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

We are using the built in benchmark which is available via the STEAM client for this game.

Shogun 2 is a demanding Direct X 11 game, however there are no problems at either 720p or 1080p, with the VTX3D Radeon HD7970 X averaging 172 fps and 82 fps respectively. CPU limiting occurs at 720p.

  1. Wow thats a great product, surprised how well it handles.

  2. What is their warranty support like though? Powercolor had a terrible coverage plan in the UK.

  3. I dont think it looks that bad. anyway who looks at a video card anyway, once its installed, its out of sight, right?

  4. Wow im buying this, ive waited for a while now for a good 7970 with quality cooler. none in stock yet, another week before its available 🙁 damn you kitguru for getting my hopes up.

  5. Well some difference there is… as i checked warranty times from one shop for some 7970 cards. MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte offering 3 years on the ones i checked. XFX 2 years and this one has 1 year. I bought this one anyway.
