Gigabyte HD7870 Overclock Review (Windforce 3X)

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

We are using the built in benchmark which is available via the STEAM client for this game.

Shogun 2 is a demanding Direct X 11 title, especially at 1080p. Gigabytes HD7870 OC Edition has no problem at either setting, generating slightly more frames per second than the reference clocked HD7950.
