hmm
35% faster in Metro2033 puts it above GTX 580 according to Anandtech, and 44% faster in Stalker COP puts it around if not above GTX 580 as well. Guru3D seems to corroborate those #'s.
For that matter, AvP is faster according to techpowerup. For Lost Planet 2, according to Tom's, 6970 is at 5970 levels, though that one's so heavily Nvidia favored nothing non-Nvidia is close
Like I said, pay attention to the game benchmarks more than what 3dMark is spewing out
You mean HD 6970 :)Quote:

That's what I thought too, but look at the graph.... tessellation rate is consistently > 1.5x, usually over 2x, so why would they do that tessellation graph then show tessellation in games not doing so?
And it's neck to neck with the 5970 in tessellation in Unigine so the 69% performance sounds about right
Han solo " I got a bad feeling" strange, it feels I never see her again.
Trust him.
Its all in the force.
mixed bag, likely bad optimized drivers as far.
maybe crossfire will suck for a year then.
6970 is supposedly rated at 190 typical / 250 max, so in some situations, I wouldn't be surprised if it got close to the 480 - but I bet overall average is a different story, much less firemark
He's done that to every slide /shrug
I think you posted good stuff so i wanted to remind you that these factors dont go unnoticed by everyone. Most people that agree with you just dont have reason to write about it here.
I think expectations to Cayman from some people are just dumb. Why would amd all the sudden throw that well working "sweet spot" -strategy to trash bin? To please five enthusiastic gamers who wants amd to make huge cost-inefficient chip that would rape GTX580?
My guess about that "turbo-boost" button is that its dual-bios switch. In a way it can works as turbo-boost if other of the bioses has been updated to more aggressive clocks. This way one could update "reserved slot bios" with less risk and switch to primary bios if something goes wrong. I think there motherboards that has this feature? But this is just a wild guess as i dont really know anything about bios-stuff :)
HD6970 RE5 Benchmark posted!
8xAA 1920x1080, all max 16xAF

Didnt say anything XD

5870 Crossfire 8xAA and 16xAF scores 109FPS on RE5 Fixed benchmark
GTX 580 8xAA and 16xAF scores 117FPS on RE5 Fixed benchmark
According to this http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=...0&postcount=19
Not too shabby at all

Depends. Resident Evil hab ich jetzt mit der gtx480 gebencht und komme auf 101FPS, die 6970 hat 109FPS. Resident Evil, I just benched with the GTX480 and come to 101FPS, which has 109FPS 6970.
Bei meinem F1 2010 Bench ist die 6970 21% schneller als gtx480. On my bench, the 6970 F1 2010 21% faster than GTX480.
Bei 3DMark11 Extreme ist die 6970 auch schneller. In 3DMark11 the 6970 Extreme is faster.
I'm sure they didn't enable AA or AF for that RE5 bench because they did a separate test in their review labeled "High Quality AA and AF"Quote:
GTX 580 bench didnt use filters or? I dont see that condition in the screen
See what I told you guys? so much doom and gloom.. and 6970 is awfully close to the 580
Also, for reference, the Computemark score of 454 sounds bad compared to the 580
http://h-5.abload.de/img/6970computemarkxmc9.jpg
But look at what the 5870 scores:
http://www.geeks3d.com/20100606/gpu-...80-vs-hd-5870/
238!
The 6970 scored 90.7% higher than the 5870 in the same compute bench!
Oh god, this seems to be good, despite the 10.11 drivers...
