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.

I've benched the card in 3DMark Vantage for a comparison to my single 560Ti(one died which is why I jumped on this) P27192 for the 7950(Factory Settings 2500K @ 4Ghz) and P19390(cpu same speed) for one stock 560Ti(also Gigabyte) and P28667 with both 560 Ti's with my CPU @ 4.2Ghz So with another OC to 4.2 I can see getting very close to that score.

One of my old games is the original Far Cry, and it renders it perfectly where my NVIDIA card would not.

the place im getting my pc from is dino pc but on that website the 760 is cheaper and bye the looks of it it is better at gaming on the tests becuase thats what im using my pc for if you want to know the specs just ask me :)

I like a bigger bandwich, beats the hell out of a sandwich any day!
Rinku Khan (08:04 AM, August 13, 2013)
now the price of 7950 has gone down. so its even better then before
Anderson Andrighi (12:51 PM, August 12, 2013)
Price should be adjusted. It's cheaper now to buy a HD 7950. Also the clock should be adjusted too. The 800 Mhz is no longer avaible. I think only the 925 Mhz is avaible.

reasons to consider the 760 because of higher far cry 3 fps? or 780 because of higher bf3 fps? wat are you guys doing thats just lame
Matt (10:48 AM, July 29, 2013)
Ok thanks i was looking at the gigabyte card on amazon
Adrian (02:09 AM, July 29, 2013)
Buy the radeon from Gigabyte the clock is 1000 Mhz and the bit is 356 so a bigger bandwich. the gigabyte is all in all cooler and more Quiet then the nvidia
Matt (11:33 PM, July 28, 2013)
The 7950 is only £10 more than the 760 which one should i get?
Jude Fiorillo (03:04 PM, July 24, 2013)
Thanks for reaching out to us Daniel! We wanted to highlight the price of different GPUs to help supplement people's research, but we didn't want to factor pricing specifically in our scoring algorithm because it's important to people in different ways.

Does the price difference between the gpus not factor in here
