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 very intensive Direct X 11 game and at 1080p the HD7750 runs out of horsepower, with frame rates dropping below 25 on a fairly regular basis. No such problem for the HD7770 Black Edition cards in Crossfire, averaging 66 frames per second.
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.
