3DMark 11 is designed for testing DirectX 11 hardware running on Windows 7 and Windows Vista the benchmark includes six all new benchmark tests that make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading.
After running the tests 3DMark gives your system a score with larger numbers indicating better performance. Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.

Direct X 11 performance is a particular strength of the AMD range, and 3DMark 11 results highlight that the overclocked PCS++ card manages to get past the overclocked GTX560 AMP! Edition. It is very close however.
Nice looking cooler indeed. weird about the temps, that seems very high. the A on the furmark and GPUZ seem VERY high though, I wonder is the bios messed up?
They are making some great cards. bummer you got a dodgy sample. it happens. at least they arent cherry pickin them
Hey, can you pass over my details to powercolor? I have the same card and the same problem. I dont think its your specific sample, perhaps a faulty batch with too much voltage?
Score is too high, the card is faulty, you review what you are given. 6/10 max
Fumark is too much of a stress test now. its like prime. its useless nothing ever stresses out hardware this much. something like crysis is fine. all you need
This is why Sapphire get such a good name, because things like this just dont happen for them!
6870 isn’t a good seller for AMD. its one of their worst sellers. the lower end boards get them their gravy.
optix what do you mean? i think this deal about sapphire being perfect is stupid.
I have had sapphire cards fail before years ago. most of them are made in the same factories anyway by palit.
You scored it too high, even if it is a bad card, you needed to score it lower. Cant take powercolors word on it !
I found another review and theirs seems ok. I think this one might have a different bios with more voltage. the Amps look higher than even most OC’d models ive seen in furmark.
