XFX Radeon R7 250 Core Edition Video Card Review
3DMark
Contents
3DMark is a program with a set of three benchmarks: Ice Storm, Cloud Gate, and Fire Strike.
The 3DMark Ice Storm benchmark measures DirectX 9 performance. Since it is compatible with very low-end systems, we ran it in the Extreme mode, which uses the 1920×1080 resolution and high quality textures.
The 3DMark Cloud Gate benchmark measures DirectX 10 performance. It runs at 1280 x 720 resolution.
And the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark measures DirectX 11 performance, and is aimed on high-end gamer PCs. It runs at 1920×1080 resolution.
