Sapphire HD 5870 and HD 5750 Vapor-X Review

Testing:

3DMark06 is one of the benchmarks that always comes up when a bragging contest has begun. 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:

• 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

Neither the previous generation Radeon cards, nor the current generation Nvidia cards, can match the scores delivered by the 5870 Vapor-X. The HD 5750 Vapor-X is just lower than the GTX 260 in all four tests.
