Asus Matrix HD 7970 Platinum 3GB Graphics Card Review
Andy Ruffell / 12 years ago
3DMark 11 is the latest offering from Futuremark, taking full advantage of DirectX 11 by utilising tessellation features and volumetric lighting. It takes your graphics and CPU hardware to the edge to simulate the most extreme conditions whilst working as a stand point to compare results with other users online.
Getting the ball rolling with 3DMark 11, we can see some strong results from the Matrix Platinum, which falls just behind the Sapphire Vapor-X 6GB on the Performance preset but comes up ahead on the Extreme preset. The overclock from the card shows against a reference 7970, the performance is boosted all-round yet still can’t quite compete with the GTX 680 from Nvidia.
