VTX3D HD7990 Review (w/ GTX690 & 6GB HD7970 Toxic CF)

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third installment and a reboot of the True Crime series. As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

We are using the highest possible image quality settings at 1080p, including the high resolution texture pack.

This is a very demanding game and the settings we have selected today can drop below 25 fps with a single GTX680. The Sapphire HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition cards in Crossfire average over 100 frames per second, which is an incredible result. The VTX3D HD7990 is only a little behind, averaging 90 frames per second. The Asus GTX690 takes the bottom position averaging 73 frames per second.

All solutions are perfectly playable at these settings which is impressive.
