Sapphire HD 6950 FleX 2GB Graphics Card

Alien vs Predator:

Based on the popular movie franchise, this game offers a DirectX 11 benchmark for us to test out our card.

Texture Quality: 2
Shadow Quality: 3
Anisotropic Filtering: 16
SSAO: ON
Vertical Sync: OFF
DX11 Tessellation: ON
DX11 Advanced Shadows: ON
DX11 MSAA Samples: 1

Resolution: 1920X1080 5040X1050
Number of frames: 5825 3214
Average Frame Time:
18.0ms 32.6ms
Average FPS: 55.6 30.7

At the normal resolution, the scene plays with no problem. With the Eyefinity enabled, it’s still playable, but can be jumpy in high action sequences.

Civilization V:

The new edition in the Civilization series features DirectX 11 and a builtin benchmarking tool for our testing pleasure. We ran the leader benchmark which renders out all of the leader scenes and records the average FPS. We ran into issue with running this in Eyefinity, so we only have the results for 1920X1080.

Resolution: 1920X1080
Average Frame Time:
17.1ms
Average FPS: 58.64

As predicted the 6950 handles Civ V with ease on high settings.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat:

Call of Pripyat is the third game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. With the new version comes a new DirectX, along with a new benchmarking tool. The benchmark runs through a series of scenes and records information about the FPS.

1920X1080 5040X1050 – Eyefinity

While displaying on 1 monitor, the 6950 has no difficulty completing the benchmark. Even with Eyefinity enabled, the framerates are still within playable range.

    Please can you confirm that you are correct with your specification where you state 40 stream processes or have you copied/pasted from the Sapphiretech site and not realised this looks wrong?

    • That section was copied directly from Sapphire’s site. Looks like they have it listed wrong in a few places. It should actually be 1408 Stream Processors. I have updated the article accordingly. Good catch.
