In Game Benchmarks

Our new benchmark suite has a range of benchmarks from the last few years all the way up to games like Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite that were recently launched. This range will give us a great idea on how the Gigabyte HD 7790 1GB OC will perform in game, and frankly isn’t that what it’s all about? In game performance is always king.

Across the board the XFX R7790 is just slightly above the Gigabyte HD 7790 1 GB OC, this is due to it having an overclock on the memory where Gigabyte just went with a core clock speed overclock only. That means that much like the XFX card we saw 60+ FPS in games like Dirt Showdown, F1 2012, and Batman. When we look at games that get 30+ FPS we can also add Shogun 2, Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, Sniper V2 Elite, Bioshock Infinite, and Hitman: Absolution. Considering every single one of those games is running on their highest settings that is an impressive list. Toying with settings and turning off AA in a few of the games would push most of these up over 60 FPS if you are looking for the smoothest playback and it will also make the other games more than playable as well.
