People that asked me to make an unique benchmark gathering FurMark, FluidMark and TessMark will be happy! This version 2.0.0 brings a brand new graphic benchmark including many features such as an OpenGL 4 rendering, GPU tessellation, soft shadows, depth of field, geometry instancing, PhysX (fluids and clothes) and even a furry MSI in the same scene You can download MSI Kombustor 2.0.0 here:Ģ – MSI Kombustor 2.0.0 Release Highlights *** MSI Kombustor 2.2.0 beta available! *** Kombustor is MSI’s VGA burn-in test and benchmark utility included in Afterburner package. The new version of MSI Kombustor is available. Radeon HD 5850 score in MSI Kombustor: 20751 pointsĬonclusion: HD 6870 twice faster than a GTX 460? Yes it’s normal, because previous gen was already twice faster (in Kombustor…). I also found the score for a Radeon HD 5850 (from XtremeSystems forums): With its 1120 cores, the HD 6870 is not too far from the HD 5870 (Cat 10.9)… Radeon HD 5870 score in MSI Kombustor: 21947 points I just tested Kombustor with a Radeon HD 5870 with the same settings: Since the default mode of MSI Kombustor is really soft for modern GPUs, the HD 6870 GPU could reach 90☌ under a violent stress test… Of course FurMark-like tests are not representative of real 3D tests like in game rendering but it shows the GPU raw power…Īt the end of the test, the Bart XT GPU reached 78☌.

This is interesting because MSI Kombustor like FurMark is very GPU intensive and the CPU does not affect much the final score. GeForce GTX 460 score in MSI Kombustor: 9238 points I quickly ran a the same test with my GTX 460: The settings are 1920×1080 fullscreen, 60 seconds and unlock power draw UNCHECKED (default mode), no AA and no postfx. I just found on ard|OCP forums the MSI Kombustor 1.1.3 score of a Radeon HD 6870 (with Catalyst 10.10). Radeon HD 6870 score in MSI Kombustor: 20113 points
