3DMark Sky Diver

Version and / or Patch Used: 1.1

Looking at one of our newer benchmarks, you can see the Sapphire R7 260X 2GB OC in CrossFire performs quite strong once again. This benchmark is designed for more mid-range setups, and unlike what we saw in Fire Strike, Sky Diver sees our Sapphire setup perform ahead of the PowerColor R9 280X 3GB OC.

Version and / or Patch Used: 1.3

At the lower resolution, we can see that the Sapphire R7 260X 2GB OC in CrossFire setup comes out ahead of the R9 280X 3GB OC card once again. However, when we crank up the resolution to 2560 x 1440, you can see the card falls behind; the setup just doesn't have enough grunt to deal with the higher amount of pixels.
