Aliens vs Predator is a DX11 Benchmark that runs though a scene straight out of the classic 80’s movie, Aliens. Since it uses DX11, it can often be more than a graphics card can handle.
Aliens vs Predator has been on the market for a while, so AMD had time to optimize their hardware for this title. This means we should see the true gaming power of the HD 7970 through this benchmark as it shouldn't be limited by any performance issues with the launch day drivers.
The results from the HD 7970 were actually quite impressive. At stock, the Tahiti XT based card was able to perform around 26 percent better than the GTX 580, and 30 percent better than the HD 6970. Once we overclocked the graphics card, the performance difference between the HD 7970 and GTX 580 grew to 37 percent.
