3DMark 11 is designed for testing DirectX 11 hardware running on Windows 7 and Windows Vista the benchmark includes six all new benchmark tests that make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading. After running the tests 3DMark gives your system a score with larger numbers indicating better performance. Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.
The graphics score of 10,421 points places the R9 285 very close next to the R9 280 Black OC Edition, although the R9 285 holds a small performance edge. The R9 280X claims top spot with a score of 10,630 points.
The GTX760 Direct CU II OC falls a couple of thousand points behind the R9 285.
I just dont understand the purpose of this card.
Its no more efficient than previous GCN cards.
Atleast Nvidia is releasing a much better architecture with 750 Ti and 960/970/980.
I was expecting a bit better from AMD,i thought the 285 wil be faster than the 280x. Guess i’ll wait a bit and see Nvidia’s offering to replace my 7850.
To use up the chips which weren’t good enough to be sold as 290s and push TrueAudio support.
Where’s the power consumption test? It should, in theory, be less power hungry.
I don’t expect them to do it. Nvidia’s CEO speaks about higher prices in the future and articles about AMD not considering changing their GPU prices where posted a few days ago. Also AMD has done this before. They replaced better performing cards – 7730, 7750 and 7770 – with slower cards – 240, 250 – at the same price points. They are doing it now again. Lower specs, higher price.
Go ahead and replace your 7850 I had two in CFX and replaced it with this card and you know what I don’t regret it one bit
This card even though very very good on 1080p gaming just can’t cut the mustard with 4K gaming which is where AMD pitched this card maybe if it had 4GB of Vram then it would be a much better contender
damn you Nvidia fans boys come out in droves…. It isnt meant for 4k gaming … And if you want big green go with big green… damn…
