XFX HD6870 Black Edition Crossfire Review

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

All settings are pushed to ultra with hardware shadows and SSAO enabled.

The overclocked cards help push the frame rates on a par with the HD6990.

We also used the built in benchmark at both 720p and 1080p settings (Direct X 11 mode). You can directly compare your hardware against this setup.

With the built in benchmark, the system scores around 85 fps at 1080p and 190 fps at 720p.
