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 ECS A75F-A. After a couple of days we settled in to complete our 3D benchmarking, feeling confident that the ECS A75F-A was going to put on a good show. Let's take a look at what numbers the board provided.

3DMark11

Futuremark's 3Dmark11 again has the ECS A75F-A on the top of the charts for its platform, a very respectable showing, for sure.

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. Civilization 5 proves to show that the ECS product is performing as expected, with no anomalies noticed.

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. Like 3DMark11, the ECS A75F-A wins out in F1 2010, and it's slowly starting to emerge that the ECS A75F-A is equipped with a BIOS that centers on 3D performance, something most gaming enthusiasts will appreciate.
