Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate Review

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third installment and a reboot of the True Crime series.As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

None of the cards are really able to handle such high image quality settings, even at 720p. The eVGA GT650 slightly outperforms the Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate however, with a 3 frames per second average advantage.

  1. no single slot? well that sucks… HTPC users need single slot cards.

  2. Harris, AMD cards output a lot of heat, building this into a single cooler design would be not feasible, based on the temperature results Kitguru recorded.

    AMD need the Maxwell architecture for this. I am surprised Nvidia haven’t released a single slot passively cooled MAXWELL based card, but I am sure it is coming soon.

  3. Including the previous Sapphire Ultimate (HD 7750) in the test comparisons would have be very helpful. Next time?
