Sapphire HD 5770 FleX Review

Testing:

3DMark06 is one of the benchmarks that always comes up when a bragging contest begins. 3DMark06 presents a severe test for many of today's hardware components. Let's see how this setup fares. The settings we will use are listed below.

Settings

• Default test settings
• Resolutiions 1280-1024-2560x1600
• SM2.0 Graphics Tests: GT1- Return to Proxycon, GT2- Firefly Forest
• CPU Tests: CPU1- Red Valley, CPU2- Red Valley
• HDR/SM3.0 Graphics Tests: HDR1- Canyon Flight, HDR2- Deep Freeze

Higher = Better

Graph position looks almost the same across all of the eight graphs, but the numbers help show the differences. Overclocked the 5770 managed to break 19K at the default 3DMark 06 resolution of 1280x1024.
