PowerColor 7900 XTX HellHound Review

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II drops players into an unprecedented global conflict that features the return of the iconic Operators of Task Force 141. From small-scale, high-stakes infiltration tactical ops to highly classified missions, players will deploy alongside friends in a truly immersive experience.

Available now on Steam.

Starting with Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II and we see the Hellhound coming in less than 1% faster than the AMD reference card, though it does come in with 3% better scores in the 1% lows. This could be deemed as a margin of error on the average, though the 1% low, even by such a small amount is still nice to see.

Cyberpunk 2077

In Cyberpunk, things go in the opposite direction with the PowerColor card now giving us the same average FPS as the AMD reference card, but now with slightly lower 1% lows.

Death Stranding

From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes a genre-defying experience, now expanded in this definitive DIRECTOR’S CUT. As Sam Bridges, your mission is to deliver hope to humanity by connecting the last survivors of a decimated America. Can you reunite the shattered world, one step at a time?

Available now on Steam.

It’s a very similar story in Death Stranding with the PowerColor coming out on top, yet still dipping a little lower in the 1% lows when compared to the AMD model. Again, you could argue margin of error, and at such a high frame rate, you’re not going to notice it anyway.

Watch Dogs: Legion

Build a resistance from virtually anyone you see as you hack, infiltrate, and fight to take back a near-future London that is facing its downfall. Welcome to the Resistance. Recruit and play as anyone in the city. Everyone you see has a unique backstory, personality, and skill set.

Available now on UPlay.

Watch Dogs Legion again saw the PowerColor Hellhound come out on top in the averages, and again see similar dips in the 1% lows. Maybe AMD just have a card that is able to maintain a higher level of boost and eliminate those small dips?

So across a small selection of games, it’s fair to say that the HellHound card either matched the performance of the AMD reference card or beat it by a margin of error of around 1 frame per second. Normally I’d be a bit upset by this, but as the PowerColor card is coming in with the same MSRP as the AMD reference card, there really isn’t any room to argue.
