Sapphire R7 265 Dual X Graphics Card review

Battlefield 4 (also known as BF4) is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and published by Electronic Arts. The game is a sequel to 2011′s Battlefield 3. Battlefield 4 is built on the new Frostbite 3 engine. The new Frostbite engine enables more realistic environments with higher resolution textures and particle effects. A new “networked water” system is also being introduced, allowing all players in the game to see the same wave at the same time.Tessellation has also been overhauled.

We test the Sapphire R7 265 in both ‘Direct X' and ‘Mantle' modes and compare against the Gigabyte GTX650Ti. We are using the latest patch as of 12th February 2014.

The Sapphire R7 265 dominates these settings, averaging 37 frames per second and maintain playable frame rates at all times. Impressive considering the high image quality settings.

The Nvidia GTX650Ti struggles to maintain playable frame rates, dropping below 20 several times.
