Futuremark 3DMark 11 Benchmark

3DMark 11 is the latest version of the world’s most popular benchmark for measuring the 3D graphics performance of gaming PCs. 3DMark 11 uses a native DirectX 11 engine designed to make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11, including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading.

We ran 3DMark11 with both the performance and extreme presets to see how our hardware will run.

Benchmark Results: The AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition reference card scored P7757 3DMarks and the PowerColor PCS HD7870 MYST scored P8241 3DMarks. This makes the PowerColor card 6.2% faster than the reference design despite having a lower clock speed.  It's all about the memory clock speed here folks!
