SAPPHIRE HYBRID X700 PRO REVIEW
"Sapphire Hybrid x700 Pro review also featuring MSI NX 6600 GT, Powercolor Radeon 9700 Pro and Leadtek Winfast PX6600. Software used:- Aurora Watching, Earth 2160, Far Cry and GT Legends."
 DAWN OF A HARDWARE HYBRID - Erupting from the depths of a hardware stew of performance and affordability, the X700 Series presents itself as the definitive Hybrid graphic solution! Combining technologies such as 8 Pixel Shader pipes, and 6 Vertex pipelines, the X700 Hybrid series raises the threshold of believability in today's detail rich game environments.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION |
|
| BENCHMARK SETTINGS:- We use three different image quality and resolution settings when we benchmark computer hardware for review. Low quality setting uses a resolution of 1024x768 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to low, this setting will mostly test for processor rather than video performance. Medium quality setting uses a resolution of 1280x1024 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to medium, this setting will test both the processor and video performance. High quality setting uses a resolution of 1600x1200 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to high, this setting is a very demanding test for video rather processor performance! |
