Benchmarks Real world tests of Radeon HD 7950 vs GeForce GTX 760
Passmark Industry standard benchmark for overall graphics card performance
Radeon HD 7950 | by techPowerUp! (Feb, 2012)3DMark 11, as the name might probably suggest, makes use of Microsoft DirectX 11 API, and puts every feature at its disposal to use, creating astonishingly-realistic visuals.
3DMark Vantage (Texture Fill) Industry standard benchmark that tests DirectX performance
3DMark 11 Graphics Industry standard benchmark that tests DirectX 11 GPU performance
Crysis: Warhead (2013) 1920x1080 - Enthusiast Quality + 4xAA
Radeon HD 7950 | by techPowerUp! (Feb, 2012)Unfortunately it leaves a less than optimized impression, making it a candidate to surpass Crysis for the highest hardware requirements.
Far Cry 3 1920 x 1080 - Ultra Quality + 4x MSAA + Enh. AtoC
Radeon HD 7950 | by techPowerUp! (Feb, 2012)After the tremendous success of Far Cry, the German game studio Crytek released their latest shooter Crysis in 2007.
