XFX HD5750 XXX & eVGA GTS450 & Powercolor HD5750 LP Review

Stone Giant is a 3rd party Direct X 11 benchmark developed by BitSquid and FatShark to demonstrate the benefits of pervasive tessellation in a game setting. BitSquid is a start up formed in 2009 from the lead engineers at GRIN, who were the developers of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (and others). Their publisher, FatShark, is based in Sweden and recently released ‘Lead and Gold” on Steam.

This benchmark uses tessellation extensively and DirectCompute to render high quality depth of field with soft bokeh.

We run this benchmark at 1680×1050.

As we recorded earlier in the Unigine Heaven Benchmark, the Stone Giant Benchmark heavily favours the nVidia hardware due to superior Tessellation performance. The XFX and Powercolor cards are close, as would be expected. The GTS450 has a 12 fps lead with this test.
