6 – ASUS Radeon HD 6950 DirectCompute performances
For measuring DirectCompute performances, I simply used the Compute Shaders samples that come with DirectX 11 SDK June 2010.
– NBodyGravityCS11 test, res: default size.
Avg FPS: 382 – EVGA GTX 580 SC |
Avg FPS: 376 – ATI Radeon HD 5870 |
| Avg FPS: 374 – ASUS ENGTX580 |
| Avg FPS: 317 – Sapphire Radeon HD 6970 |
| Avg FPS: 297 – EVGA GTX 480 |
| Avg FPS: 277 – ASUS EAH6870 |
| Avg FPS: 273 – Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 |
| Avg FPS: 223 – MSI N460GTX Cyclone 768D5 OC |
| Avg FPS: 198 – MSI R5770 Hawk |
| Avg FPS: 153 – ASUS Radeon HD 6950 |
Remark: 153FPS for the HD 6950 is clearly wrong. Certainly due to a bug in Catalyst drivers…
– HDRToneMappingCS11 test, res: 1920×1080 windowed.
| Avg FPS: 1090 – ASUS ENGTX580 |
| Avg FPS: 1027 – Sapphire HD 6970 |

| Avg FPS: 913 – ATI Radeon HD 5870 |

Great stuff Jego! At last some gaming benchies! 😀
Some notes:
– The links at the first page do not work. Numbers 2 through 8 point to
http://www.geeks3d.com/20110117/tested-asus-radeon-hd-6950-2gb-gddr5-review/
– Is the 6950 Crysis score correct?
Personnal notes:
– Did AMD fix Hawx 2 at last? Cool! I haven’t done any testing on my 5850s recently.
– Now that the time finally came to play Crysis as it was supposed to be played, I gotten myself two new Geforces instead of two new Radeons, lol. No regrets though. The game runs fine. It’s actually cpu limited now. 😀
Oh…and what setttings were used in Crysis?
I wonder how much of AMD GPU’s lack of performance is due to the quality of their drivers.
@Psolord: thanks for the links bug. Fixed!
And yes the HD6950 score in Crysis is correct. I will bench again HD 6970 and HD 6950 when new drivers will be available because some scores (especially in OpenGL) are not coherent. For Crysis, I used the integrated GPU benchmark with default settings (I forgot the resolution sorry).
@Ash: I think too much.
Thanks for nice sharing JeGX.

You can get the card to run at 950 MHz. I also had difficulty with Smart Doctor. Check my review at http://www.bjorn3d.com
You can get the card to run at 970 MHz. I also had difficulty with Smart Doctor. Check my review at http://www.bjorn3d.com
i have Asus 23″ VG236HE monitor connected with hdmi 20 pin cable to asus radion hd 6970 card,
i am running windows 7/64 but i cant run 3d nvidia ?
any help ?
I just bought the ASUS EAH6950 2GB video card running on a 24inch LED monitor but i find the graphics not being sharp. The edges around the fonts are abit fuzzy and videos are not sharp as well. Anyone know why this is so?
Oh yeah, found it so annoying how i had to play around with the scaling option to get full display on my monitor!
ASUS pre-sales claims the “power-up” wattage of the P8Q67M-DO MB is 330w. This is without a proc. or RAM. Can anyone with a three digit I.Q. tell me if this sounds even remotely possible ???
