Benchmarks Real world tests of Radeon R7 250 vs GeForce GTX 650

Passmark Industry standard benchmark for overall graphics card performance

3DMark 11, as the name might suggest, makes use of the Microsoft DirectX 11 API and puts every feature of it to use, creating astonishingly realistic visuals.

3DMark 11 Graphics Industry standard benchmark that tests DirectX 11 GPU performance

3D Mark 2011 is a nice start to benchmarking as it gives pretty reliable results between runs.

3DMark Vantage Graphics Industry standard benchmark that tests DirectX 10 GPU performance

Moving on, we have our 3DMark Vantage texture fillrate test, which does for texels and texture mapping units what the previous test does for ROPs.

3DMark06 Industry standard benchmark that tests DirectX 9 GPU performance

We don't use 3DMark to draw GPU performance conclusions but it does make for a great optimization target.
