Benchmarks - 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.
We absolutely expect the card to be faster than a standard HD 7870 2GB; it has more compute power and faster memory. It's actually a testament to the Pitcairn XT's well-balanced architecture that it's less than 10 per cent slower at the Extreme preset.
