Oh come now. You're just making it silly at this point. If you listened to the podcast, you'd know that both boost and vanilla versions of the 7950 were tested. And I'm sure you'll try and think up some other senseless reason why the testing was unfair. Don't you hear yourself man? This isn't even about fps and your talking about which card was o/c'd.
Do you realize that changing an almost stock card for a stock card doesn't make any sense? That wasn't the point anyway. It was about giving some aura of fairness to the whole farce.
660 Ti Stock = 915/1058 Core 1500 Mem
660 Ti AMP = 1033/1111 Core 1652 Mem
7950 Boost Stock = 850/925 Core 1250 Mem
7950 Vapox = 850/950 Core 1250 Mem
Like doing the testing in W8. It's going to be an irrelevant OS like Vista was. Why they changed the OS for their tests at this point? It has less market share than OSX and won't surpass W7 even in its wildest dreams.
Again they changed their bench suite. If they get back the old benches it would go 50/50 again. Doing fine in old games and having this "issue" in the new ones.
It's not like it was unfair, the point is that it was sloppy.
The 660 got LOWER fps but exhibited smoother gameplay. Get it?
Did we read the same review? Cuz it was something like this:
660 wins: Skyrim, Assa Creed III (7950 was destroyed), Borderlands 2
tied: MoH War, GW2
7950 wins: Hitman, Sleeping Dogs
I don't even...
I'm going back to lurking so you and your focus group can have these forums all for yourselves. You've got your suit, enjoy it.
