AMD Radeon 6900 & 6800 Updated
Over time we find the need to update and renew benchmarks. In my initial review of the AMD Radeon HD 6800 and 6900 Series, we only had time to test the games that were already in our test stable from the Radeon HD 5000 series reviews and benchmarking. Unfortunately, many of these games were older, and ended up being CPU board and/or not fully showcasing the DX11 improvements in the Radeon HD 6900 series.
At the end of those reviews, I laid out plans to update benchmarks to include newer games. I began this new testing with my Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity6 benchmarking of 3x1 and 5x1 Eyefinity rigs. This article brings these new benchmarks to the Radeon HD 6800 and 6900 series. Additionally, I will also be updating all of my 5800 series benchmarks (on both new and old games) to utilize the current driver base and 16:9 monitors.
New games tested are:
- Aliens vs. Predator
- F1 2010
- Heaven v2
- Just Cause 2
- Mafia II
Here is a picture of my test rig, which is detailed on the next page:
