3D Performance Results

Once we completed our CPU test suite, we took some time to play some games with the TPU community to get an overall feel for gaming on the TA75A+. After a couple of days we settled in to complete our 3D benchmarking, feeling confident that the Biostar TA75A+ was going to put on a good show. Let's take a look at what numbers the board provided.

3DMark11

The Biostar TA75A+ put on pretty decent results here, allowing the platform to shine a bit.

Civilization 5

Our first real-world 3D performance test comes in the form of Civilization 5, using the included benchmark. We let the game recommend us settings, and then disabled V-SYNC and AA to eliminate bottlenecks introduced by the GPU itself. Again, we find the Biostar TA75A+ hanging right along with the high performance products, just a few points below the other results.

F1 2010

Our second real-world 3D performance test comes from CodeMasters, in the form of the "F1 2010" included benchmark. We let the game recommend us settings, which included 8xAA with our newly added HD 6950 2 GB from Sapphire. Here we got a big surprise, with the TA75A+ and accompanying APU beating out the Phenom II and i5 760 results! Maybe there IS more to this platform than meets the eye!
