Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate Review

Metro: Last Light takes place one year after the events of Metro 2033, proceeding from the ending where Artyom chose to call down the missile strike on the Dark Ones. The Rangers have since occupied the D6 military facility, with Artyom having become an official member of the group. Khan, the nomad mystic, arrives at D6 to inform Artyom and the Rangers that a single Dark One survived the missile strike. 4A Games’ proprietary 4A Engine is capable of rendering breathtaking vistas, such as those showing the ruined remnants of Moscow, as well as immersive indoor areas that play with light and shadow, creating hauntingly beautiful scenes akin to those from modern-day photos of Pripyat’s abandoned factories and school.

The eVGA GT650 1GB has the slight edge on the Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate, although the results are very close indeed.

  2. Harris, AMD cards output a lot of heat, building this into a single cooler design would be not feasible, based on the temperature results Kitguru recorded.

    AMD need the Maxwell architecture for this. I am surprised Nvidia haven’t released a single slot passively cooled MAXWELL based card, but I am sure it is coming soon.

  3. Including the previous Sapphire Ultimate (HD 7750) in the test comparisons would have be very helpful. Next time?
