Sapphire Pure Black X79N Motherboard and HD7970 GPU 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.

Alien V Predator is a very intensive Direct X 11 benchmark which can bring lesser systems to a grinding halt at these settings. Good overall performance from the Sapphire HD7970 system, averaging 92 frames per second.
