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 comparible throughout reviews.
Neck and neck in this test with the new Sapphire HD5850 Xtreme, averaging 51 frames per second. This is particularly good as this specific test has been known to favour AMD hardware.
Yay, thats a mega card from Zotac !
I like that a lot. Great price, its £30 less than the HD6950 too.
that is one seriously fast clocked card. 1ghz? 460 eat your heart out !
as always, great review man. I like the cooler. but I agree, it can get a bit toasty considering thedual fans etc.
Im impressed, and I didnt think that was possible this year with nvidia. any ideas who is stocking it?
Pretty good price, although I see a lot of sites complaining they are priced too high. Dont know how thats worked out. This one is faster than a Ti isnt it ? going on results.
I think this updated series is a waste of time, the Ti was fine, just needed to price them better.
I dont think that cooler is doing that good a job considering the heatpipe design and dual fans? Have zotac overvolted the card to make it stable at 950?
