AMD Radeon HD 7990 Review: The Quiet Beast

Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping Dogs is an open-world game in which you play the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop trying to take down the Triads from the inside. In the game, you have to fight your way up in the organization and take part in various criminal activities without blowing your cover. We tested Sleeping Dogs at two resolutions, with all in-game graphical options set to their maximum values with FXAA enabled.

 

The Radeon HD 7990 performed very well in the Sleeping Dogs benchmark, besting both the GeForce GTX 690 and GeForce GTX Titan at both resolutions. The only NVIDIA solution tested here that was faster was a pair of Titans running in SLI mode.

Frame latency, however, was an issue in this game. Once again we see the Radeon HD 7990 with major peaks and valleys--some frames were displayed for 20ms+, while others were hardly on-screen at all. The GeForce GTX 690 was much more consistent in its output in this game.
