Performance in Semi-Synthetic Benchmarks

Futuremark 3DMark Vantage

We minimize the CPU’s influence by using the Extreme profile (1920x1200, 4x FSAA and anisotropic filtering). We also publish the results of the individual tests across all display resolutions to provide a full picture.

The narrow memory bus shows up in synthetic benchmarks, too. The Radeon HD 4890 scores more points. Although the new card can outperform the older solution when overclocked, this is not its standard operation mode. The performance of the junior Radeon HD 5700 series model is just as expected, too.

The Radeon HD 5770 behaves like in Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X., getting closer to the Radeon HD 4890 at higher resolutions although we might expect the opposite theoretically. The Radeon HD 5750 shows a somewhat chaotic behavior, its lead over the opponent changing in no particular order. For example, it enjoys the largest lead at 1680x1050 and 2560x1600 in the first test. The new cards do not show anything extraordinary here.
