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.
The reference clocked HD7770's in Crossfire X are just slightly slower than the reference clocked Nvidia GTX580. Thanks to the healthy overclock on both XFX HD7770's they manage to outperform the GTX580, averaging 74 frames per second (5 fps more).
great looking cards. still a bit costly for what you get I think. Crossfire any better than it was a few years ago? nothing worked when I had two cards. (well worked the way it should have). That is why I moved to nvidia.
I wasnt impressed. but I can see the merit with two of them in Crosfire.
Have to ask. Would the people buying one of these really be able to afford two?
This is why crossfire makes sense. Obviously we have the rich guys who buy two high end boards to break benchmark scores, but back in the real world. you buy one, use it for a while, save up. then get another. you have high end card power for less money with less initial outlay.
First time ive seen a company sell a bundle, with two in it. with two free games those cards work out at £135. its not bad value considering.
