Gigabyte HD7870 Overclock Review (Windforce 3X)

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 Direct X 11 engine favours AMD hardware and the overclock allows the Gigabyte HD7870 to outperform the reference clocked GTX580 by 3 frames per second.
