S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Prior to the game's release, the developer put out a benchmarking tool to test your system configuration. It offers a number of different options for utilizing DX9, 10 or 11 code paths. It also offers options for varying levels of HDAO and Shadow Quality. The demo itself isn't very pretty to look at (lots of dirt and dirt-colors), but it does put a beating on your system.

While none of these cards provides playable frame rates, we can see the improvements over the previous generation. The HD 6450 will actually run the benchmark, and the HD 6670 shows improvements on the order of 50%. In many instances the HD 6670 outperforms the HD 5750, and that card required an external power connector.
