Sapphire HD 7970 6GB Toxic Edition Review

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.

An engine which favours AMD hardware. Fantastic results from the Sapphire HD7970 Toxic Edition, outperforming not only the GTX680, but the dual GPU GTX590. With Sapphire's Lethal Boost enabled, the HD7970 is only 5 frames per second slower than the dual GPU HD6990.
