Did any of you actually read the Anandtech article???
They specifically called out that it was capped at 60 fps. AMD also similarly in the last 60 months released a new driver with frame rate capping capabilities, and boasted about how it increased perf/watt. They picked a 950, not a 960, so that more of the chip would have to be spun up to higher frequencies to hit 60 (wider w/ lower clock = more power efficient, narrower with higher clock = less power efficient). The new chip can likely do more than 60fps in SWBF, and the 950 is probably nearing its cap, and this was intentionally chosen. Do the math.
Those numbers they showed are certainly true, but they've also picked the precisely best light to show it in. As anyone should expect from a products company marketing its product...
I find it amazing how blindly people time after time believes in PR and completely throw away any sense of normal source criticism. And we all know the result, because time after time it never lives up to the PR.
