Sapphire HD 7970 6GB Toxic Edition Review

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

At the standard setting, the SAPPHIRE HD 7970 6GB TOXIC scores 34,496 points placing it around 1,000 points behind the last generation dual GPU HD6990. With the Lethal Boost enabled, the Toxic Edition not only outperforms the KFA2 GTX680 Limited Edition, but also the dual GPU GTX590 from the last generation. A score of 36,667 is the highest score we have recorded to date for a single GPU discrete solution.
