Sapphire HD 7970 6GB Toxic Edition Review

According to EA, Battlefield 3 garnered 3 million pre-orders by the day of its release. It is unknown at present whether these figures are worldwide or just for the US. The pre-order total makes it “the biggest first-person shooter launch in EA history”, according to the publisher. The engine is beautiful on the PC and very demanding of the partnering hardware.

We configured the game to run on three 24 inch monitors at 5760×1080. We also dropped the Texture quality from ultra to high.

A demanding game at these settings, although none of the hardware on test has a problem maintaining smooth frame rates. The Sapphire HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition claims the top spot, averaging 4 frames per second more than the KFA2 GTX680 LTD OC.
