Dead Island is a first person horror action-adventure video game developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver for Microsoft Windows. It is centered on the challenge of survival on a zombie-infested open world island with a major emphasis on melee combat. It is rather good fun, for a short while, but it becomes repetitive.
A relatively easy experience for all hardware on test today, with even the modest HD6770 maintaining solid frame rates. The higher performance Core i7 3960X EE system holds a higher frame rate than the older Core i7 970 system, averaging around 180 fps compared against 172 fps.
Finally! I’ve been looking forward to AMD giving nvidia a bloody nose!
wow thats a hell of a fast piece of hardware. nice job from AMD
Well after bulldozer they needed to do something, this is it.
but its not a direct replacement for 6970, its a completely new price category, more than GTX580. 6970 was much cheaper.
hey, I wonder how nvidia will respond to this, thats an insanely powerful card. Only concern for me is the price. Ive seen the 6990 on sale for £499.
Very nice, but im more interested in the 7950, and the pricing. this is just too expensive IMO.
Good performance, and nice to see them improving the cooler a little. the HD6990 cooler is insanely loud. I am surprised that it doesn’t cost around £399 inc vat as AMD have always been competitive on pricing. t his seems over the odds IMO.
AMD Radeon HD 7970 a little disappointing. I hope the HD 7970 uses ultra-fast memory such as Rambus XDR2 and able to achieve perfect HQV score of 120. The use of PCI Express 3.0 by the HD 7970 also does not provide significant improvement.
