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.

Great performance indicators from the XFX HD7850 Black Edition, averaging 48 frames per second at 1080p settings, this is 5 frames per second more than the reference clocked solution.
Another winner from XFX, great clock speeds out of the box as author says.
impressive, but it is a bit expensive, no? I would expect to pay £200 but no more for a 7850?
I want to see your review of the GTX680, are you not reviewing it Zardon?
Hi Robert, our sample had a hardware problem (fan issue) and we are in the process of reviewing the replacement. Just one of those things.
