AMD Radeon HD 7970 Benchmarks, Gaming Performance

AMD Radeon HD 7970 Benchmarks Leaked
What we’ve found is AMD’s Review Guide for people testing new Radeon. It is a guide with various benchmarks results for comparision during testing and reviewing. We thought it is worth sharing it with you. Please note, these benchmarks do not represent the final product.

3D Mark 11

The comparision test was taken with 1024×600 resolution. As the graphic suggest AMD Radeon HD 7970 would be 12% faster in Entry setup, 16% faster in Performance benchmark and 22% faster than GeForce GTX 580 in Extreme setup. AMD Radeon HD 7970 is 25-32% faster than previous generation (HD6970).

Gaming Performance

Benchmark was committed with FRAPS. We can see a great boost of performance with the newest Radeon. It is important that benchmark was done with high resolution up to 2560×1600.





CrossFire Performance

As you can see, Radeon HD 7970 will boost your framerate up to 2.0x while running in CrossFire mode.

    Dear Santa..

    fake? biased review

    Taken from official AMD Review Guide, not fake.

  • Curiosity

    Can anyone confirm if the comparison are made against a gtx580 1.5Gb or gtx580 3Gb?

  • http://videocardz.com VideoCardz

    The performance difference between these two versions is hardly noticeable (1-2%), so does it really matter?

    Does look fake. That tessalation chart is a lie for sure.

  • Madmike32

    well that was not intelligent by whoever tested the HD7970 eh!!
    As the 11.11b drivers do not support the HD7970 at all.
    Only 12.1 drivers do…so absolutely no point in even reading that test at all as the fps will be no where near correct.. due to not having the correct drivers.. as only 12.1 support the new GPU.. .
    enough said.

  • Madmike32

    p.s the tessellation figures won’t be too far off chart wise…as the HD7970 is around 1.5 times more powerful in tessellation. .according to the AMD info .
    Also with more ROP’s to draw to screen and the correct HD7970 supporting drivers then frame rates will be a fair bit higher than those published here..
    Wait until official test sites do test’s with correct drivers etc..
    Take this test with a pinch of salt due to not correct drivers etc..
    11.11b don’t even have the performance enhancements for latest games compared to 11.11c… and again I will state that both those don’t support HD7970… only 12.1 does.. and it has the latest game performance enhancements that 11.11c does.. so that would also boost the HD6970 figures as well.

    If this is true,than its not worth 500eur…more like 399 for the HD7970 lol Cuz if ya look at the shader number + other tweeks OC-s its clearly more like 25-35% faster than 6970…. but not 50-60% faster than gtx580…..

    Tests are from the official benchmarking guide for reviewers. No error there. Possibly they have some modified drivers thats all.
