Too little to late? Hopefully not but this should make the current red team guys happy.

Too little too late? Funny you say that, considering AMD's products continue to offer better performance/price (the only figure that really matters) over nVidia's overpriced and voltage-control-less lineup.Originally Posted by hammerforged

cool. still switching to nvidia but only because i use adobe CS6 a ton and want to take advantage of cuda for the mercury engine
Interesting.
I would like to see what people say about their numbers compared to what AMD claims.
Sounds too good to be true, or their drivers were too bad to begin with.
Either way its good news to see AMD getting better after hearing about their financial results. We all need them in order to keep the markets competitive.

Not trying to start anything but looking at how close the next generation is, it would of been nice to see this support 3-4 months ago. All that matters is that its here now though.Originally Posted by Raven.7

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.Originally Posted by hammerforged

This is good news for any AMD owners and I am very happy for them.

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:

pretty nice performance increase by just pure driver oh wow!

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.
I'm impressed and pleased.
This wouldn't be in AMD's nature without the graph starting at 90%.

I guess AMD dont think your HD6000 series is worth it to go thru the driver to optimized the drivers for them too. Maybe will and just not mention it in the releases.

No, they only offer improvements for the 7000 series.

These are only for the GCN architecture though these optimizations were the ones that were expected a few months back. If you guys remember last year when the 6k series came out they also got an optimization boost so this is kinda like that but for the 7k series.Originally Posted by GanjaSMK
What about 6xxx series cards? Performance boost for them too?![thinking.gif]( "thinking.gif")

The optimized drivers for the HD 6000 series cards were released while the HD 6000 series cards were still in production. Same for the HD 5000 series, HD 4000 series, and every generation before that. NVIDIA does the same. It's not unreasonable at all.Originally Posted by admflameberg
