Review: Asus 3GB 7970 DirectCUII graphics card

Stock Benchmarks

First, we are going to take a look at the stock results in 3DMARK 11 just to get a baseline for the card in its factory state. Then we will move on to some overclocking results. Below is the test hardware we are using to bench the graphics card. Rampage IV Extreme Intel I7 3960X (Stock) 16GB of G.Skill RAM Corsair AX12003DMARK 11

Using the ROG skinned GPU-Z we can see we have the card clocked completely at stock for both the GPU and Memory clocks. So basically we can see an impressive but not ground breaking score, but at stock setting, we aren’t expecting much in terms of performance compared to reference cards, but because we have the DIRECTCUII cooling, we can easily crank this card up a few notches and get extra performance.
