Sapphire HD6790 CrossfireX Review

Homefront is speculative fiction, set in a near-future, post peak oil world that features a significantly diminished United States, and a united Korea that has built a massive alliance in East Asia. The Gate Corporation (a major private military company) also plays a minor role. The game focuses on the collapse of the United States, subsequent occupation by the Greater Korean Republic—a united Korea under the rule of Korea—and the American Resistance that fights said occupation. The player is invited to join the American Resistance, “using guerrilla tactics, commandeering military vehicles, and utilizing advanced drone technology”.

Homefront's PC version has been outsourced to Digital Extremes, a Canadian developer responsible for numerous Unreal Tournament games and Bioshock ports. Frank Delise, the executive producer of the PC version has stated that the PC version of the game will feature exclusive content and dedicated servers. Additional exclusive features include clan support, DirectX 11 graphics, and first person vehicle cockpits.

This is the first time we have tested HomeFront, and we have to say, the game looks great. It has received negative reviews due to the length of the single player campaign but we had a blast testing it for this review. All of the solutions on test today are capable of powering the game at these settings, although one of the intensive game sections causes the GTX 550 Ti to judder a little, as it drops below the magic 25fps line. In CrossfireX the performance was fantastic and higher settings or resolutions could be used.
