Synthetic Benchmarks

Synthetic benchmarks won’t give us any idea of the Matrix Platinum’s in game performance, but when it comes to comparing it to other cards they are a very reliable way to see where it stands. In this case, the Matrix Platinum performed extremely well in the new 3DMark Fire Strike benchmarks coming in close to the performance of the GTX 780 in the extreme test even. But in 3DMark 11 and Heaven Benchmark 4.0 it wasn’t as close and the card came in just below the GTX 770. Even so, that isn’t bad for what is basically an overclocked version of the HD 7970 of last year. The difference between the Matrix Platinum and the last HD 7970 I tested pulled a nice lead as well. I can’t wait to see what the R9 290 and 290X will perform if this is what the R9 280X with a hefty overclock can do.
