Alienware M17x R4 Review (i7 3610QM/ AMD HD7970M)

Aliens V Predator has proved to be a big seller since the release and Sega have taken the franchise into new territory after taking it from Sierra. AVP is a Direct X 11 supported title and delivers not only advanced shadow rendering but high quality tessellation for the cards on test today.

To test the cards we used a 1080p resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on. We use this with most of our graphics card testing so cards are comparable throughout reviews.

This is one of the few laptop systems that can maintain smooth frame rates at 1080p with high image quality settings. The HD7970M is certainly a mobile powerhouse and delivers an average of 55 frames per second. Excellent results.
