We continue with further analysis, and it is the turn of the AMD 6950 with 1 GB. Remember the 6950 model 2 GB of GDDR5? Well we could try her twin sister, virtually identical in everything but because it has a slightly smaller size pants. No, at first glance do not discriminate, but ... what in actual testing? We have carried out tests and benchmarks on the AMD 6950 1GB, resulting in a curious comparison: performance is virtually identical to the model theoretically superior, leading to very similar if not identical.
This opens an interesting debate: does it really make such a big amount of memory on a graphics card? Discussing this question the other day. Today we present the analysis of the AMD 6950 1GB GDDR5, the evidence and our conclusions: A brief description of test equipment and software used: The results you see in the following comparisons are all own, drawn from our tests and analysis of different graphics cards in recent months.
Two tests on 3DMark 11 and FurMark with all the default settings. In all these benchmarks involved, the higher the score, the better. You will find the data frames per second (fps) on the top bar of each graph. The resolution is 1,680 × 1050. In all cases, the more fps the better. Maximum graphics settings all the limit values.
Maximum graphics settings all the limit values (fan settings) except antialiasing (a 0) and a second test with all the best except antialiasing filter (a 0), and the quality of the textures that we place in standard (configuration standard). Maximum graphics settings all the limit values (including filters) maximum graphics settings, all settings to the max: maximum graphics settings all the values to the maximum: We took two values of consumption, idle and full.
The first started with the computer operating system without running any application or game. The second, with the computer as possible. A lower consumption, better. The same, two idle and full values. The first value is the average temperature in operation with the computer without running any user process, and the other operating temperatures with extreme use, I am sure that if we do a double-blind, the vast majority would not know the difference between a model and another.
In some tests AMD 6950 1GB shown superior to its counterpart in 2 GB, while in others it is significantly lower. The differences are, as we say, minimal. And a little more to add. Short conclusions, right? The difference in price is 10 euros, 259 euros reaching the 1 GB model for about 270 euros 2 GB GDDR5 in both cases.
These prices are official by AMD in Spain, with the final figures vary considerably to the point that I'm seeing some online stores (Spanish) where they sell the 2 GB model for 225 euros. Perhaps we should note that the 1 GB model has maximum operating temperatures somewhat lower, 77 degrees instead of 84.
This is because the card we've tested brings the bottom totally free and without the cover plate, so the GPU does not heat more than air, which is immediately dissipated to the outside of the box . Regarding the maximum consumption accounts for 5% more, which should not be considered representative.
And a small recommendation which I think has been demonstrated in this analysis: the amount of memory a graphics card is no longer essential, or at least there are multiple characteristics (GPU model, manufacturing process or "generation") to be considered most important when choosing a new graphics card.
AMD 6950 1GB has few differences with the 2 GB model. This model with less memory was launched ostensibly to compete on price with the NVidia GTX 560 Ti have analyzed. The differences between the AMD and NVidia models are minimal and are about the same price, between 230 and 250 euros or so.
PD: Y endpoint. Ataos males because this week and I notice that it will be very powerful in the world of hardware. Which Forewarned is forearmed ... 1GB 6950 AMD has been released for testing by AMD. Please check our relationships with companies. In Tech News Buzz | AMD 6950 recurs again, this time more cheaply and with less memory.
More | AMD.
