PowerColor PCS+ HD7870 Gaming Video Card

Video Game Performance

In terms of game performance, the card defiantly holds it’s own. At default settings, which aren’t even at maximum output, the card can keep solid FPS performance on most high end games. Here are a few results from a few games:
(for non in-game benchmarking tools, FPS was recorded using Fraps.)

Resident Evil 6, build in bench marking tool:

For those of you wondering, CAPCOM likes to add an additional letter to the standard A through F grading scale. Their “S” grade is for things that score above an “A”.

Farcry 3: Blood Dragon

In that first screen shot, I tried to capture as many particle effects as I could during the intro helicopter flight of Blood Dragon. Even with an exploding enemy helicopter, the card soldiers on with 67 frames per second. After the landing, nothing even compared to the laser-gattling gun parade; the lowest dip was documented in the second screen shot.

Tomb Raider (2013)

An interesting note here is that the card held a solid 60 FPS (Frames per second) for the entirety of the Tomb Raider benchmark. (Short of a small dip when the sun first emerged out of the clouds; 1st screenshot).
