AMD Radeon 6990 Review - Mafia II
Mafia II
Mafia II is an open world "crime" title from 2K Games. It is the second game in the Mafia series. The demo comes with a built-in benchmark tool that offers both indoor and outdoor environments, various lighting effects and fire.
A single card won't quite hit 30fps in Eyefinity, but a CFX setup pushes past consistently. We see a CPU limit at about 70fps in widescreen. Mafia II proves to be quite a demanding benchmark for Eyefinity, as only CFX configurations can consistently cross 30fps in Eyefinity. The Radeon HD 6990 hits 30fps in 5x1-P when the resolution is dropped to 4800x900.
Below is a table that outlines the performance difference between the Radeon HD 6990 and the comparable SKUs. For example, the Radeon HD 6990 provides a 1fps improvement over an Eyefinity6 CFX configuration in 3x1600x900, and that represents a 3% increase over that Eyefinity6 CFX configuration.
