XFX HD7870 Black Edition Overclocked Graphics Card Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell March 20, 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.

The XFX HD7870 Black Edition manages to outperform the HD7770's in Crossfire, by a couple of hundred points. It falls in around 1,000 points behind the GTX580.

    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
