XFX HD7850 Black Edition 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.

The healthy overclock manages to push the XFX Black Edition a little higher than the Sapphire version of the same card, falling in 2 frames per second behind the HD6950 with this particular Direct X 11 engine.

  1. Another winner from XFX, great clock speeds out of the box as author says.

  2. impressive, but it is a bit expensive, no? I would expect to pay £200 but no more for a 7850?

  3. I want to see your review of the GTX680, are you not reviewing it Zardon?

  4. Hi Robert, our sample had a hardware problem (fan issue) and we are in the process of reviewing the replacement. Just one of those things.
