Gigabyte HD6770 Silent Cell 1GB Review (passively cooled)

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

All settings are pushed to mixed high/ultra settings as shown below.

Real world testing can fluctuate a little, especially with dynamic environments. With this test we also like to include built in benchmark results via Steam so readers can directly compare against their own hardware. Direct X 11 1080p and 720p results are below.

The hardware scores around 25 frames per second at 1080p and 67 frames per second at 720p. The real world tests are slightly better, averaging 30 fps at 1080p and outperforming the last generation HD5770 by a couple of frames per second.
