Sapphire R7 265 Dual X Graphics Card review

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 1920×1080 resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on.
Alien V Predator
The Sapphire R7 265 Dual X is only a single frame per second behind the overclocked VTX3D HD7850, although the minimum frame rate is higher, which we would assume may be partially due to the higher clocked GDDR5 Hynix memory.

  1. You know im in two minds over this.

    Firstly, for the price – wow, what a great deal.

    But another rebadge with some ‘tweaks’ from AMD? come on, its such a cop out 🙁 At least they didnt send you a reference card. makes a change!

  2. The HD7850 continues to live – to be fair its AMD’s best GPU ever. Thats my take, so plenty of life still left in it, especially for £100.

    The GTX760 is faster, but its £200, it wont be faster than two of these in Crossfire, for the same money!

  3. Im glad the 7850 is still around. I got upgraded to one under warranty when my 6870 died. Its great and it can play pretty much anything almost on full at 1080p.
    Then I did something silly and I got another one. Crossfire is really disappointing to me. There are too many games that don’t support it properly.
