AMD Radeon HD 8970M Crossfire Testing in Benchmarks
It is our favourite section, AMD Radeon HD 8970M Crossfire Testing in Benchmarks. It is here where you learn which competitors and comparable GPUs by specs and performance are similar. The benchmark score shows how fast and effective the GPU operates with various calculations and graphics scenarios under high load and stress testing.
GPU Benchmark performance
3DMark Ice Storm GPU
3DMark Ice Storm is a modern synthetic benchmark for GPUs, used for evaluating performance in rendering. In 3DMark Ice Storm, you can check how fast a GPU of the old generation is and make conclusions about its modernization.
3DMark Cloud Gate GPU
As 3DMark Cloud Gate Benchmark supports DirectX 10, its evaluation is rather suitable for GPUs of a medium level or the ones released 4 years ago.
3DMark Fire Strike Score
3DMark Company has created a benchmark for GPUs called "Fire Strike Score", which points to the definite scenarios for fulfilling different variants and conditions of GPU running. The higher the evaluation of the 3DMark "Fire Strike Score" is, the more performing and faster a GPU is.
3DMark Fire Strike Graphics
3DMark Fire Strike is a benchmark of GPUs, which reflects a GPU's testing results under factory conditions without overclocking, making it the most realistic in contrast to the custom dimensions of performance.
3DMark 11 GPU Benchmark
Being one of the most popular benchmarks for GPUs by far, 3DMark 11 is the authority among other programmes evaluating running or gaming performance. It supports tessellation, various calculating scenarios and account multithreading in GPUs testing.
3DMark Vantage Performance
3DMark Vantage Performance Benchmark accounts a GPU performance in multithreading that completely reveals all the potential of a graphics core and memory. Check the results to understand which GPU is better in the benchmark.
Unigine Heaven 3.0
Unigine Heaven 3.0 is an earlier version of the benchmark of the third generation, which allows using all the GPUs subsystems to depict the real level of performance upon high load. It is perfectly suitable for comparing the performance of mobile and desktop GPUs.
