[Benchmark] XFX R7970 Double Dissipation

[RDilux]

For the folks who are interested or consider to buy this card i was thinking "let's make a review for it on the linus forum" what i will do.

First thing first my 1080p 3D monitor is broken so i will do all the test bench on 1680x1050 but i will add 1920x1080 when i got it back.

Specs of this card can be found here.

Test Setup

Processor: Intel Core i5 2500k @ 4,7Ghz (Watercooled by Antec H20 620)

Mainboard: ASrock Z77 Pro4-M

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16Gb (9-11-11-28 @ 1,866Mhz)

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit)

Drivers: CCC 12.11 Beta

Overclocking:

Yes i know most benchmark or reviews show this in the end of the bench or review, but i will show this first.

Stock Clock: GPU: 925Mhz Mem: 1375Mhz

OCed Clock: GPU: 1060Mhz Mem: 1425Mhz

Games:

Street Fighter 4

Yes i know it's an old games but alot of gamers still play this game!

Just Cause 2

The Just Cause 2 Benchmark was done in the concrete jungle.

Not much fps gain when you overclocking the card in this game.

Resident Evil 5

Seems like when you throw in more horse power Resident Evil throw in more effects.

Overal the overclock score is better.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 Multiplayer

We see some good peformance gain when you overclock the card.

But i had to clock it 20Mhz slower due driver crash.

Maybe have something to do about the Beta drivers i don't know.
