Sapphire HD5830 Xtreme & HD5850 Xtreme Review

Aliens vs. Predator, developed by Rebellion Developments, is a science fiction first-person shooter and is a remake of its 1999 game. The game is based off the two popular sci fi franchises. In this game, you have the option of playing through the single player campaigns as one of three species, the Alien, the Predator, and the Human Colonial Marine. The Game uses Rebellion's Asura game engine that supports Dynamic Lighting, Shader Model 3.0, Soft Particle systems, and Physics. To test this game I will be using the Aliens vs. Predator benchmark tool with the settings listed below. All DirectX 11 features are enabled.

Settings

• 4xAA
• 16xAF
• SSAO = On
• Texture Quality = Very High
• Hardware Tesselation = On
• Advanced Shadow Sampling = On

Higher = Better

The Sapphire HD5850 Xtreme was sitting again in the middle of the pack giving you average performance whil the Sapphire HD5830 Xtreme was just barely below it, by only 2 FPS in the 2560x1600 Stock testing.
