Well, considering the performance margin between (in my case) the HD 7950 vs the 660ti and the 670, I have zero complaints. This is only the icing on the cake if it be true.

What kind of sorcery is this?! I was afraid driver team was falling off after all the rumors of cutbacks.

Performance Summary

The graphs on this page show a combined performance summary of all tests and resolutions from previous pages. Each graph shows the tested card as 100% and all other cards' performance as relative to it. A sixth graph summarizes all tests in all resolutions to calculate the total relative performance of the review sample.

The relative improvements for each card are:
HD 7750: +4%
HD 7770: +5%
HD 7850: +4%
HD 7870: +10%
HD 7950: +7%
HD 7970: +7%
HD 7970 GHz: +7%

Personal opinion: thumb.gif pretty nice performance increase by just pure driver oh wow! thumb.gifthumbsupsmiley.png

We find out for sure when the links for the drivers are released, so we can actually see with the games they mention the performance boost in.

No, they only offer improvements for the 7000 series.
