I checked with most benchmarks for this card (
or at least the 7950) online, most of them are ran at 3.0 heaven or lower settings, so I really can't get an accurate comparison with mine. :(

wow how come there are 7950 that scored much higher than mine?

the ASUS and AMD Radeon 7950 get as high as 56 fps!


forget to post my spec btw:


psu : gs700w
mobo : ga z77x ud3h
cpu: i5 3570k (3.4 ghz) turbo at (3.8)
16gb ram

Link to your result?

With 3DMark, when comparing GPU's you look at the graphics score. When comparing CPU's you look at the physics score. Without knowing your results I'm blind and cannot compare your 7950/3570K to their FX-8350/7950.

Things to consider are cpu, gpu and ram speeds.

My results (Fire Strike) with Catalyst 13.2 Beta 4 drivers:

Completely stock (gpu 900/1250MHz - cpu 3.4GHz)

Did you run yours on exterem of basic?

and for firestrike:

your physics is much higher than mine btw, is it because i have i5 3570k and yours is i7 2600?

but i thought we both have 3.4 ghz, hell mine should run at 3.8 turbo.

Looks fine... In fact you scored higher. I get a higher physics because of the hyper-threading (i7). When turbo is fully utilized (3.8GHz for the 3570K) it's only using one core. All four cores used it maxes at 3.6GHz...

2 x 100 MHz for four active cores (3.4 GHz + 200 MHz = 3.6 GHz across ALL FOUR cores)
3 x 100 MHz for three active cores (3.4 GHz + 300 MHz = 3.7 GHz across THREE cores)
4 x 100 MHz for two active cores (3.4 GHz + 400 MHz = 3.8 GHz across TWO cores)
4 x 100 MHz for one active cores (3.4 GHz + 400 MHz = 3.8 GHz across ONE core)

Are you certain it looks fine?


I just looked at both of our cloud gate score, and you got 4000 higher than mine, your score is 18000 and mine is 14000 due to the physics score 2000 difference.


I know the i5 3570k sucks but i didn't know it suck that much.

Phew, i was worry i might have to ship mine back to the manufacterer, so my score is normal huh? I'ma run another test with it OC to 4.2 and see what happens. but to be honest in bf3 I don't really see the difference by OCing cpu.
