ATI FirePro V8700 Crossfire Benchmark Test on 3DMark and SPECViewperf 10

[DSOXBLADE]

The music = shit!!!!

[luishomeroremohsiul]

why is he testing a WS card on something that i does not excel on? .. hm : /

[mexfogel]

read the description of the video

[joyman2000]

Ridiculous music

[MrSaggat]

Idiots, this card was not made for gaming! the card was made for science research, rendering!

[sargo0013]

@MrSaggat The OP clearly stated that, MORON

[Ostnizdasht206]

The bottom ones darker..

[shadow1910]

So a ATI FirePro will be more suited for graphic design compared to.....Radeon HD 6990?

[vipuladusa1]

I really like the music in this LOL and I was wondering the same thing as @jerkface37

[VertigonA380]

Toms Hardware recently did a review of ATI vs Nvidia workstation cards. The excellent driver optimisation by Nvidia and its partners made it the clear winner.

[jerkface37]

could you crossfire this with a gaming gpu so you can do cgi and game?

[mexfogel]

@jerkface37 You can only do crossfire with two identical cards of the same model.

This card was not made for gaming =P

@racer2213 "These video cards are not intended to be used for VIDEOGAMES (this is simply a performance test)."

Wow cant people read? Or are they just to frickin lazy to read?

[SasianStudios]

So would the 8700 be better than my Nvidia GT 220?

[mexfogel]

@SasianStudios: Yes, your card will get around 5 FPS on this test. The V8700 has a Memory Bandwidth of 76.8 GB/sec and yours has a third of that 25.3GB/sec.

You should download the 3DMark free trial and try if for yourself and post your result here.

[mexfogel]

@mexfogel A posted result on 3DMark website shows your card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 220) running on a cpu i7 extreme edition got 7fps and 5fps running on lower setting "performance" as opposed to "high" settings like I did.

[mexfogel]

@Teblin: It was more important to match another system with a similar CPU and because there were so few those are the video cards I was able to compare with.

[Teblin]

also the 4870 and the 4870X2 has a slightly higher memory clock vs the v8700 which may give the slighlty higher fps in vantage

[Teblin]

probably would of been best to compare against 3dmark vantage scores of 4870 crossfire rather than the 4870X2 the 4870 matchs the gpu core of the v8700 both (RV770XT gpu core) the 4870X2 uses a R700 gpu core. the amount and speed (gddr3 or gddr5) of the vram can also make a small difference.
