7950 OC scaling in Crysis 3

[Final8y]

To show 7950 scaling in a real game, I did a quick benchmark of Crysis 3. I used FRAPS for 80 secs of the first level. There is not much action, but the environmental effects cause some pretty nice stress on your GPU. Every test was done the exact same way, so there is not much variance.

Hmm.. i noticed he gained 6fps just by increasing the mem when the GPU was at 1150.

Those are crazy gains... is this on water? I haven't bothered OCing my 7950 boost yet, wanted to get it wet first. I hate OCing during summer.

Another good reason for OCing and gaining free performance
