Sapphire HD7950 MAC Edition Review

Serious Sam 3: BFE (Before the First Encounter) is a first-person shooter video game developed byCroteam and published by Devolver Digital. It is the latest game in the Serious Sam series and a prequel to Serious Sam: The First Encounter. The game's story takes place in the 22nd century, during Mental's invasion of Earth, as implied in The First Encounter. The game is set in Egypt and features a 16-player co-operative campaign mode, as well as 4-player splitscreen.

This game has a built in FPS monitoring tool.

We selected 2560×1600 resolution and disable Anti aliasing, with other settings on high. Ambient Occlusion is set to full.

This is a very demanding game on OSX and at these settings it was unplayable on the HD5870, often dropping below 20 frames per second. With the HD7950 in place, the frame rate increased enough to ensure it was playable.
