AMD Radeon HD 7950 Tahiti Pro DirectX 11 GPU Review

Alien vs. Predator
DirectX 11 Gaming Performance


Alien vs. Predator

The Alien vs. Predator benchmark makes use of the advanced Tessellation, screen space ambient occlusion and high-quality shadow features, available with DirectX 11. In addition to enabling all of the aforementioned DirectX 11 related features offered by this benchmark, we also switched on 4X anti-aliasing along with 16X anisotropic filtering to more heavily tax the graphics cards being tested.


The Radeon HD 7950 had no trouble outpacing all of the other single-GPU powered cards in Alien vs. Predator, save for the higher-end Radeon HD 7970. The dual-GPU powered cards, however, maintained a significant lead. Also note, the RC11 drivers gave the 7970 a nice performance boost here.


CrossFire also scaled properly in this game and the Radeon HD 6950 CrossFire rig trailed only the dual-card Radeon HD 7970 setup.
