Testing (continued):

SiSoftware Sandra Rendering:

SiSoftware's Sandra rendering benchmark (DirectX 10.1) analyzes three different aspects of performance, all with results in terms of megapixels rendered per second (Mpixels/s), where higher scores are better. The two Nvidia based cards could not complete this test, which is why their fields are left blank, so the HD5670 scores a bit of a victory due to forfeit!



Heaven v1.0 (DirectX 11):

Unigene released their Heaven v1.0 benchmark at about the same time Windows 7 was officially released, and it is an easy way to analyze the DirectX 11 performance of compatible graphics cards on this new operating system.



Unfortunately, the two Nvidia based cards and the Radeon HD4890 are not DirectX 11 compatible, so we are left with blank fields for these three cards.
