Intel Core i7 980X Review

Testing:

BioShock is one of the creepier games you can play. The building of a perfect Utopian society undersea gone horribly wrong. Its inhabitants driven mad with the introduction of tonics and genetic modifications. Now Rapture is just a shadow of its former glory with little girls looting the dead of what little they have left while being shadowed by guardians known as "Big Daddies". It is a demanding game that will make your hardware scream for mercy. This first person shooter allows for an infinite number of weapons and modifications to provide a unique experience each time it is played. The environment, as well as the story line, will wrap you up for hours on end.

Video Settings:

• All settings to maximum
• V-Sync: Off
   

When compared to the Core i7 965, the 980X delivers similar performance in this game. Overclocking provides a small benefit that will not get noticed in game.
