AMD HD6790 Review
AvP and Crysis Warhead
Published: 5th April 2011 | Source: AMD | Price: £112 |
Alien vs Predator
AvP is a lot kinder. Although out of the box it struggles to pass the bare minimum 30 FPS average, at least with the overclock in place it has a little more get up and go.
Crysis Warhead
Things are very similar in Crysis Warhead. Obviously for a low-end card we're running only at Gamer settings and zero Anti-Aliasing but still the HD6790 manages a healthy 40FPS. Despite only grabbing 4 more frames from the overclock the most important thing is the big leap in minimum frame-rate which helps reduce the stuttering as the card tries to keep up.
We did run in maxed Enthusiast mode but an average of 20FPS isn't desirable to anyone and if you wanted to run in those conditions you shouldn't be looking at such a basic graphics card in the first place.

I don't understand why Nvidia and AMD released the 550 and 6790 surely the time and effort would have been better spent making improved versions of the 6850 and 460.
