Yup - tbh Techpowerup makes a lot of these errors. They bench too many games at too many settings (automatically) and don't double check for errors. Clearly something has gone wrong when a 7770 outperforms the 260X by such a huge margin - but all that is seen is the end totals.
I like Techpowerup but their results warrant very close examination, especially when they just don't add up.
As for that Toms graph, 38% efficiency over the 260X seems about right based on what I suggested earlier with 25%-30% efficiency over the 7790.
Honestly it's a good card with amazing performance for the power draw, but AMD will likely match or exceed this at 28nm if they try to. It might take a few months, or maybe they are just waiting on 20nm (seems likely), but the 60%+ perf/W claims based on techpowerup's flawed benchmarks are completely bogus.
