Benchmark: 3DMark 11
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.
AMD's Radeon HD 7970 was quick, but Gigabyte's overclocked model, as expected, is even quicker.
The card scores a whopping 7,601 on 3DMark's Performance test, and further closes the gap on the dual-GPU GeForce GTX 590.
