Running Gears3 from Minigl Demos results in 100% cpu  use.
Running Warp3D Nova Gears results in 12% cpu use  .
Idle system is 5 % cpu use.

Be careful what you compare here, the Warp3d Nova demos are locked to the screen refresh rate.

On my system (x1k) the Nova gears example barely gets out of the 'rest CPU noise' (as displayed in CPUInfo docky) , at the default window size, though CPU usage does go up as the window size increases.  

These aren't demos but coding examples. Please don't attempt to use them for crude benchmarking. The results would be less than meaningful.

The supply of compatible Radeon HD Southern Islands cards is shrinking so
he who hesitates may be lost.


It's not like you can't benefit from them in the mean time, they are faster than other OS4 supported cards (give or take specific hi or low end versions within the series) and you can use Warp3D )non Nova) on them now.
