XFX HD7850 Black Edition Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell March 28, 2012 Featured Announcement, Graphics

Dead Island is a first person horror action-adventure video game developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver for Microsoft Windows. It is centered on the challenge of survival on a zombie-infested open world island with a major emphasis on melee combat. It is rather good fun, for a short while, but it becomes repetitive.

No performance concerns with this engine, averaging 131 frames per second at our chosen settings. The heavily overclocked Black Edition almost manages to equal the reference clocked HD6970 in this benchmark.

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

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

    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.
