AMD Radeon HD 6790 Review - PAGE 9

Chris Ledenican - Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 Like +my favourites

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.

In our first gaming benchmark the HD 6790 manages to pull ahead of the GTX 550 Ti in all the tested resolutions. Also, this is yet another benchmark where the HD 6790 performs better than the HD 6850 once overclocked.

~850mhz, 800sp's, 40 tmu's, 16 rops, 256-bit bus, ~1.35 Tflops.... sounds familiar to me. Other than the featureset of the 68xx cards, including dx 11, it's just about the same as the 4890, with an increased memory clock and lowered power consumption. The naming scheme seems to have less to do with what chip it's using, not to mention naming this the 6830 would be very misleading as it's just about as powerful as a 5830.

I think it just means they are close to pushing the 6x series to the low end to let them shut the door on the 5x series.

Think if I was planning on selling a 5830 or 5770 the time would be now.
