Aliens vs Predator D3D11 Benchmark v1.03 is a standalone benchmark test based upon Rebellion’s 2010 inter-species shooter Aliens vs. Predator. The test shows xenomorph-tastic scenes using heavy tessellation among other DX11 features. The benchmarks independent GUI was used for testing shown below.

When we run the Aliens Vs. Predator benchmark on the APU Graphics we leave the Texture quality and Shadow quality at low and leave the Anti-Aliasing off for both 1920×1200 and 1280×1024.

Benchmark Results: The GIGABYTE A75-DS4H was able to squeeze out enough performance out of the integrated AMD Radeon HD 6550D to take over the top spot from the ASUS F1A75-V Pro. At 1280×1024 the GIGABYTE A75-DS4H was able to average 26.2 frames per second. Increasing the resolution to 1920×1080 the GIGABYTE A75-DS4H is in a three way tie for the top spot with 18.2 frames per second.

Running the benchmark on the XFX Radeon HD 6950 we cranked up all the image quality settings in the benchmark to the highest level possible, so we were running 4x AA and 16x AF with SSAO enabled at both 1920×1200 and 1280×1024.

Benchmark Results: The GIGABYTE A75-DS4H with the XFX Radeon HD 6950 was able to keep up with the top performing AMD board, the ASUS F1A75-V Pro as well as the Intel “Sandy Bridge” system. At 1280×1024 the GIGABYTE A75-UD4H was averaging 55.9 frames per second, and at 1920×1080 we saw an average of 41.2 frames per second. Both of these averages are only .1 frames per second behind the top spot.
