XFX HD7870 Black Edition Overclocked Graphics Card Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell March 20, 2012 Featured Announcement, Graphics

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 comparable throughout reviews.

The XFX HD7870 Black Edition is very closely matched with the Nvidia GTX580, averaging a single frame per second more at these settings.

Fallout 4 Anniversary

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition announced for all systems (including Switch 2)

Just under 10 years ago, Fallout 4 officially released to the world. While the game is far from perfect, it resonated with millions thanks to its sandbox-like design and focus on exploration among other ancillary additions (such as the settlement mechanic and base building). As they have done with many of their previous games, Bethesda has now officially announced Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition – bundling the base game alongside its DLC and hundreds of user-created mods.

    those cards are pure sex. Id probably want the 7950 though if I was getting an XFX DD card. seems to make more sense, especially when overclocked to the limit.

    Good cards, but far too many to choose from in the last 2 weeks. hard to know what to buy (if I was in the market).

    HD6850 is the better value card IMO, its under £200 now in the UK, 6870 is too closely priced to 6950 IMO
