5 – ASUS EAH6870 OpenCL performances

For an overview of the OpenCL performances of the Radeon HD 6870, I used the benchmarking mode of GPU Caps Viewer (PRO version). See this article for more information about GPU Caps Viewer OpenCL tests.

Catalyst 10.10 APP + R260.93 have been used in these OpenCL tests.
