Sapphire HD7730 2GB GDDR3 and 1GB GDDR5 Review

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.

We run the DX11 Graphics balanced 720p benchmark, available for this game in STEAM. You can therefore directly compare against your own system.

Both Sapphire HD7730 cards deliver reasonably good frame rates at 720p with these balanced settings. Again the GDDR5 version of the card generates slightly higher frame rates. The GT630 is the only card that struggles to maintain smooth frame rates at these settings.
