CineBench R11.5 is definitely showing its age with regards to the OpenGL portion of the testing. As we get further away from the release of the benchmark the scores have become less and less consistent, or even usable as a gauge.

However the CPU test is as robust and useful as ever, and it’s not exactly a shock that the 990X manages a eye-popping 11.98. Far and away the biggest score we’ve seen and to watch the image render on this chip is a sight to behold.
