AMD Radeon HD 7790 Video Card Review w/ Gigabyte & Sapphire

Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 is a space western first-person role-playing shooter video game that was developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. It is the sequel to 2009’s Borderlands and was released for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. Borderlands 2 was developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games on September 18, 2012 in North America.

Borderlands 2 runs on a heavily modified version of Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3. We tested Borderlands 2 with vSync and depth of field disabled. We increased the general image quality settings and turned on 16x AF. PhysX effects were set to low to keep things fair as possible between AMD and NVIDIA cards. FXAA was enabled.

Benchmark Results: The Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 Dual-X OC and the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 OC were just a single FPS apart at 1920×1080 and just 1-2 FPS faster than the EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti SSC in Borderlands 2. Very close race here with no significant difference between the cards at 1080p resolutions.
