MSI R7970 Lightning Graphics Card Review (Twin Frozr IV)

Homefront’s PC version was developed by Digital Extremes, a Canadian developer responsible for numerous Unreal Tournament games and Bioshock ports. It received mixed reports, although Kitguru really likes the single player aspect of this title. The engine isn’t the most demanding on the market, but it requires decent partnering hardware for solid frame rates at 1080p.

Very closely matched with the XFX HD7770 Black Edition cards in Crossfire, scoring an average of 1 fps more.

  1. Lovely, very nice, and yet again very expensive……… we can only dream!

  2. Wow… so thats £500 for a card with no copper used as a cooling material, and Aluminum used instead,
    thats a less ductile material = an inferior cooling solution, using a cheapr material for more money…

    MSI really know how to impress – or charge more for using cheaper materials!!!

  3. Good point from muppett, copper might have improved on the results by 1-2 c more.

    however, the end result is great as the testing shows.

  4. @muppet:

    Actually the Cooler material is copper, but it’s nickel coated, so it doesn’t corrode (very, VERY easy with copper)
    Only the fin array is made of Aluminium

  5. I take it 12.3 drivers were used for this test and the other custom 7970’s?
