Radeon HD 7770 Put Through 3DMark 11

[Wrigleyvillain]

Two of these with 2GB vram would be interesting. At 1920x1200 my two 6850s generally do me just great but need more video memory.

Stock 5770 on performance

ok now run it at 1GHZ core

ok now run it at 1GHZ core

Can't get it that high Max i can get on this is 926mhz

everthing processed by the graphics card has to pass through the cpu and amount of cores aside a phenom 2 core is nowhere near as fast clock for clock as a SB-E core. then you have to factor in turbo core speed and there is quite a bit of difference.

had the 6850 been benched with the SB-E, the score would be higher. No matter how much you try to focus a benchmark for a particular component, the others will affect the result.

you don't have to take my word for it. Run 3dmark 11 yourself, then underclock your cpu by 500MHZ and run it again. The graphics scores will drop.

In post 40 the December leak had a Core i5 3550 and the scores are virtually the same for graphics test at least with the HD7770. I have not found a Core i5 2500 and HD6850 1GB score yet,so I will take your word for it with regards to relative performance.

Note that score is a bit inflated due to the CPU used. That CPU will not translate to the same performance increases in game. Drop a stock 2600k instead of a 3930k/3960X in it and that overall score comes down just a bit.

Solid card at the sub $200 price point.

Not necessarily - look at post 40 again. The graphics score is virtually the same and that is with a Core i5 3550 quad core which has no HT.

Anyway,the reviews are out today and it would be a shame if the card cannot match an HD6850 1GB. Since the card is not bus powered,they should at least try to match the HD6850 1GB.

I hope nVidia releases a card around the 6850 performance with only a 6pin conncector. It sucks that the best I can do is a 550ti.

i might actually buy this and give some new life to my trusty old rig...

this is COMPLETELY off topic but what cpu cooler do you use for your 3.9ghz C2D overclock? Don't tell me its stock...

I got a friend with that chip and I'm just wondering how well they overclock on stock cooling.

i am using this with a single 1000rpm 120mm fan in the middle.

stock is on the chipset lol - http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2219686&postcount=98

btw if your friend is lucky, he should be able to hit 4 ghz with stock cooling, i have a sucky chip here that won't go higher without more volts and i should be hitting somewhere around 4.5 @1.4v... anyway, those chips are good overclockers in general.


EDIT: the most realistic clock for stock cooler is 3.6ghz, but i've seen a few that went to 4 without raising the voltage.

You do not understand how the FINAL score is calculated. More core/threads = higher Physics score, = higher combined score, = higher total score. You are spot on in regards to the graphics score though. Notice how I specifically mentioned "Overall" score...which was also the context of the post I was replying to.
