Unlocking The AMD Radeon HD 6950 to 6970 – BIOS Flash Mod Guide

3DMark 11 is the latest version of the worlds most popular benchmark for measuring the 3D graphics performance of gaming PCs. 3DMark 11 uses a native DirectX 11 engine designed to make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11, including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading.

Since Futuremark has recently released 3DMark11 we decided to run the benchmark at both performance and extreme presets to see how our hardware will run. The Performance level was also run at 2560×1600 with no other settings changes to ensure consistency throughout testing.
