Sapphire 7950 Overclocked Edition Video Card Review

As we move into our gaming tests, keep in mind 30FPS is the minimum fps required for quality gaming.

Dirt 3 (DirectX 11)

 1920 x 1200 on Ultra Settings with AA off
  • Min: 106.8
  • Average: 116.2
5760 x 1200 on Ultra Settings with AA off
  • Min: 47.9
  • Average: 52.9

Stellar results here.  This card obviously has no problem with Dirt3 on a single monitor or in Eyefinity: Never even came close to 30FPS.

Alien vs. Predator (DirectX 11)

 1920 x 1080
Average FPS 87.4
5760 x 1200
Average FPS 37.8

Again, awesome results here.  Testing this both in single and Eyefinity mode we would be able to play a smooth game easily achieving a minimum of 30FPS.

 

S.T.A.L.K.E.R (DirectX 10)

Call of Pripyat is the third game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. With the new version comes a new DirectX, along with a new benchmarking tool. The benchmark runs through a series of scenes and records information about the FPS.  We tested this on both single monitor and Eyefinity and the Sapphire 7950 OC had no problem conquering this game either.

Batman Arkham City (DirectX 11)

Batman Arkham City is an especially hard game on graphics cards because it is rendering large cities at a time.  This test was also done on max settings and the Sapphire 7950 OC passed with flying colors (Average 59 FPS).

Battlefield 3 (DirectX 11)

Our final gauntlet to put the Sapphire 7950 OC through is Battlefield 3.  This popular game released under the assumption that Eyefinity/nVidia Surround would be nearly impossible at the Ultra Preset.  However we have found the exception.  With Eyefinity on over 3 monitors (5760 x 1200 resolution) we were able to play Battlefield 3 at ~32 average FPS.  This is truly astonishing out of a card never getting to 70C.

  1. No offense intended Ben, but you need to get the marbles out of your mouth. I can’t understand half of what you are saying, most importantly the max stress temp. It could be only me, but you might want to retake the video, or at least clean up the audio. Thanks
