I was really excited to see where the R7770 stands compared to the HD 6000 series cards as well as Nvidia’s offerings. What a better way to compare than with 3Dmark Vantage and 11, they make not always show you real work performance but they are very consistent for comparing cards to each other. The R7770 came in above the HD 6850 and blow the HD 6870 in all of our results. That puts the card in between the GTX 550 Ti and the GTX 560Ti in the Nvidia camp.
