XFX HD7850 Black Edition Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell March 28, 2012 Featured Announcement, Graphics

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

Very commendable results thanks to the hugely overclocked core, the HD7850 Black Edition manages to outperform the GTX570 by around 200 points. It is actually only 700 points lower than the last generation HD6970 flagship, which is impressive.

    impressive, but it is a bit expensive, no? I would expect to pay £200 but no more for a 7850?

    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.
