Sapphire HD7970 Overclock Edition (Dual-X) Review

F1 2011 is the newest Direct X 11 racing game from industry pioneers CodeMasters. The 2011 Formula One season is the 62nd FIA Formula One season. The original calendar consisted of twenty rounds, including the inaugural running of the Indian Grand Prix before the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix. Pirelli returns to the sport as tyre supplier for all teams, taking over from Bridgestone. Red Bull Racing are the reigning Constructor’s Champions. Red Bull Racing’s Sebastian Vettel is the defending Drivers’ Champion, one of five World Champions appearing on the grid.

F1 2011 is a fantastic looking game and it runs exceptionally well on the HD7970 hardware, averaging well over 70 frames per second at reference clocks. The overclocked speeds help generate extra performance, between 2 and 7 frames per second.
