yeah Radeon Pro is a very good sofftware which AMD should integrate in its drivers. recruit that guy or buy his technology. AMD do it fast.

And just as I was getting overly excited, I decided to give Saints Row: The Third a try. What a stuttering mess that is, no matter what you do with RadeonPro. Well, you can't win them all I guess.

I want to call this close but that would be a travesty.

This is basically hard evidence that the 7950, alone, liquidates any logic to select Kepler cards. Bear in mind, a 7950 CFX setup will cost as little as $600 which is as much as what I paid for my MSI Lightning GTX 680 a month ago doh.gif

Six games, of which three are very well known to favor Tahiti over Kepler, at a resolution of 5760x1080. "Any logic", you say? Bit of a stretch, IMO.

BF3 which was Nvidia's strongest game has also gone in AMD's favour. Other than Shogun 2 and Borderlands 2 there are very few games where a HD 7950 OC(1.15 Ghz) won't beat a GTX 680 OC(1.25 Ghz). Anybody who wants a contest should put their GTX 680 against bruennis Gigabyte HD 7950. so bring your GTX 680 Lightnings and lets see the results.

I'm not sure how this is related to what I said.

AMD is very strong right now, but this one quite unofficial review or rather posting containing nothing more than frame rate numbers of six games on a multi-monitor resolution is far from conclusive. The 7950 is not faster than GTX 680 all things considered. It just comes closer than it should considering the price. And yes, in some cases it is even faster.

You said 3 games favour AMD. But in the current scenario there are very few games where Nvidia leads. The argument that HD 7950 is not faster than GTX 680 is only for stock comparison. But even when you consider a decent overclock on HD 7950 of 1.15 Ghz you end up faster in the vast majority of games against GTX 680(1.25 Ghz). users like bruennis who has moved from a GTX 680 Lightning 1372 Mhz to ASUS HD 7970 MATRIX PLATINUM (1320 Mhz) have stated the difference is significant . he also sees his Gigabyte HD 7950 (1280 Mhz) faster than the GTX 680 Lightning (1372 Mhz) .

http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/11/07/medal_honor_warfighter_gameplay_performance_review/5

HD 7970 Ghz is 12% faster than GTX 680 at 1080p. clock for clock HD 7950 is 3 - 5% slower than HD 7970. HD 7950 (1.1 Ghz) would match HD 7970 Ghz(1.05 Ghz) and at HD 7950(1.15 Ghz) would be close to 15% or even more faster than stock GTX 680. the stock GTX 680 is boosting between 1058 and 1110 Mhz. Even a 150 - 175 Mhz overclock is not going to get a 15% perf increase to catch up with a HD 7950(1.25 Ghz).

HD 7950 (1.1 Ghz) would match HD 7970 Ghz(1.05 Ghz) and at HD 7950(1.15 Ghz) would be close to 15% or even more faster than stock GTX 680. the stock GTX 680 is boosting between 1058 and 1110 Mhz. Even a 150 - 175 Mhz overclock is not going to get a 15% perf increase to catch up with a HD 7950(1.25 Ghz).

Favoring would be being obviously biased towards one or the other camp. Being faster is a different thing. The point being that six games of which three are biased towards AMD is not conclusive. BF3 isn't a biased title as of now, IMHO.

I'm not too keen on taking a 1.25GHz 7950 for a comparison baseline, either. That would be a similar case to something like a 1350MHz 680: neither are the norm you should expect when buying one.

Edit: Also, 7970 GHz is in fact only 4,5% faster than 680 at 1920x1200. Could it bee that your calculations based on one "Gaming Evolved" title are maybe favoring AMD a bit?
