3DMark 11

With the benchmark running on the extreme setting, the 7950 along with the Intel 3820 was able to produce an impressive 2436 points.

3DMark Vantage

3DMark Vantage is a DirectX 10 benchmark tool.  While somewhat outdated in terms of DirectX, it is still capable of bringing high-end cards to their knees.

In GPU tests 1 and 2, the 7950 was able to produce 52 and 36 fps respectively for a total GPU score of 15167.

Furmark

Furmark is generally seen as the ultimate video card stress test. It is capable of squeezing every last bit of heat from your GPU.

In the 1080p benchmark, the 7950 FleX was able to hold 46-48 fps and puled off a total score of 4255. This is even more impressive when you consider it peaked at only 65 degrees.

Unigine Heaven

The heaven benchmark was designed to specifically test the new features in DirectX 11 and is an excellent benchmark for general GPU performance.
