3DMark 11 and Aliens vs. Predator
3DMark 11 is the latest version of this hugely popular synthetic benchmark. Making use of DX11 features such as tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading, it provides modern-day results and is available as a free download.
A little faster than a £20 cheaper Radeon HD 5670, the first benchmark reinforces the notion that this isn't geared towards gamers who want the very last FPS for their money.
Aliens vs. Predator
The standalone Aliens vs. Predator benchmark uses DX11 features such as hardware tessellation and advanced shadow sampling to draw and animate everyone's favourite xenomorph.
No GPU below £100 can play this game at smooth frame-rates, so the HD 6670 Ultimate is in good company here.
