We now move on to graphical performance – first up we take a look at Futuremark's 3DMark Vantage benchmark program.
3DMark Vantage performance.
The M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 does very well here. Even in dual core form the numbers compare very well even against the i5 and i7 competition.
Blacksite came next.
Blacksite performance.
Overall performance was very good and certainly directly comparable to both the i5 and Maximus Gene III and i7/P6T SE combo's.
The last test involved Race Driver GRID.
Race Driver GRID performance.
Again performance was very nearly the same.
In each case all clocks at all resolutions were perfectly playable and incredibly smooth (something that i would say was probably one of the main beneficial features of AMD systems) - very impressed.
