What does a HD 5970 score? I'm not used to Vantage scores as I've never benched it myself. ^^
in the last thread someone showed referenced values for other cards:


i find this value too high. but i do expect such gains for dx11 stuff, cause honestly thats what this card is being built for.
for Dx10, maybe 10-15% due to higher clocks and better efficiency of power, but the architecture changes i doubt will do much for efficiency of perf/watt, just perf/mm2
