Good question. I have the 3GB model, so I'm not so sure myself...

With the old benchmark I was getting 5999, new one increased my score by 259.

MIS HD 7870 Hawk OC
6GB RAM @1600

I recently upgraded from a 5870 and my score only went up by about 920 on the old bench. I figured it'd go up more than that but I guess my cpu or ram may be holding me back.

(note this won't be exact)... but...!

Upper left corner "products" -> search ->add 5870 ->
according to that, the 5870 and 7870 are not too different, which may be the reason for small change. Although personally I would look at the FPS rating to see how the game does, not look at scores. 30FPS+ entire time = playable imo

(as a side note, some people mentioned more ram = better score, 16GB+ range, of course thats mainly because once you benchmark, the whole things being cached and loads faster... but oh well!)

[ArchDizzle]

On an i7 4.0ghz 16gb ram HD7870 and the newest bench was getting me just over 7600 which is plenty for me but would have loved to been in the 8000+ range.

Just to add to what Gulk noted, in the 5000 series the 5870 was their top of the line card, when they changed to the 6000 series the x870/850 line became the mid-range and the x970/950 became the top of the line. That is likely why you aren't seeing as much of a difference. I have a 6870 myself and people with a 5870 score quite a bit better than me as well.
