Desktop Cards:Edit
| Card Name: | Additional Info: |
|---|---|
| HD 7970 |
Brilliant performance around 200-240 FPS on maximum graphics. Latest driver fixes trasparencies.
|
| HD 7950 |
Very good performance around 50-60 FPS. With the 12.6 driver no Trasparencies issues any longer.
|
| HD 7850 |
Pretty good framerate with bump-mapping, around 20-30 FPS with SEUS. and 256x Texture Pack. Resolution:1080p. Items and blocks which the background should be transparent seems not works as it should. (Background is not transparent)
Screenshot of this happening http://i.imgur.com/C55RV.png UPD: 12.6 beta drivers fix the transparencies. |
| HD 7770 |
Very good performance, but FPS does drop to around 45FPS if you add the Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders. GPU utilization does not go above 75% and it is not taking the card's full potential, however it has the same issue as HD 7950 and 7970. |
| HD 7570 | ??? |
| HD 6990 | Unbelievable performance, if you have this card, you have nothing to worry about. That means that I am too selfish to explain how the card runs, I only tell you it works well. |
| HD 6970 | Excellent performance, even with 512x Texture Packs. |
| HD 6950 | Performs well, over 50 FPS with 256x Texture Packs. |
| HD 6870 |
Works great, no problems so far. Over 75 FPS with default texture pack.
Over 60 with Fancy and 64x Texture, 40 with 256x.
