Benchmark for XFX Radeon HD5970 black edition?

[dtiao7eb]

Does any one have the XFX HD-597A-CNB9 Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition and have a benchmark for it? I'm trying to compare it to my system. my 5970 is not 100% smooth in Crysis at full settings... is that possibly due to my HDD? or strictly my gpu?

OKay I read this wrong. You already own the black edition. I am assuming you have not overclocked it since your 980X is at stock settings. Maybe you should try overclocking it to stock settings of 2 5870s that should help out.

Yes, it should help, but even the HD 5970 won't run crysis 100% smooth on full settings. You'd need to quad-crossfire that (two HD5970s)/ or tri-SLi a GTX480
(both very expensive), to run crysis on full settings completely smooth. Also, have you tried OC'ing your CPU? The 980X will smash past 4GHz on air.

Crysis is a VERY demanding game once you get to the high settings with lots of AA/AF

I just typed your question into google and there are about 497,000 results - happy searching
