Radeon 7970 Benchmarks

Everyone knows a bunch will be fake! Don't enter a thread about graphics card results before the NDA is up and be surprised when you find fake benchmarks!

I entered the thread in search of proper benchmarks as the title isn't exactly "LOLFAKEBENCHMARKS" is it?

Also going by your logic, why even bother discussing these benchmarks if you know they are fake? Talk about wasting your own time :S

Statistics! Even if some of them are fake, chances are that on average they'll be pretty close to the mark.

I really don't understand why people have a problem with a lot of these benchies with respect to the values. Sure half are likely to be fake but in terms of results you would expect the 7970 to be around 70% faster than 6970 and therefore ~45% faster than 580.

This has happened with virtually every next gen release where a die shrink has been involved as far back as I can remember.

lol, is that a factory overclocked 580 you are referring to?

Wishful thinking

Thats just it, because theres no credible info in the thread, who the hell knows lol.

I don't believe those graphs and figures at all as the presets make absolutely no sense. Why use the high preset in BF3 on the very top end of GPU's? Since when did a 6970 = 580gtx in terms of performance? No mention of the actual models used in the test (1.5gb vs 3gb etc) or clockrates either.

Stop linking utter **** mate. When you actually see something from a reputable reviewing source, link that instead.

Because it looks to be AMD's benchmarking guide and of course they are going to make their GPU's look better by using favourable settings.

That's pretty much the full guide and it doesn't look all that fake to me.
