3Dmark 11 & Test System Specs
The Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 was 10% faster than a non-overclocked card when testing with 3Dmark 11 using the extreme settings, setting it only 8% behind the HD 7970 and a healthy 28% ahead of the GTX 580. Hopefully it can maintain that standing throughout our game benchmarks.
