I do wish there are more comparisons using strictly reference cards and the recent drives and such though, makes it a lot harder to accurately compare the results. Seems like most current reviews are a mixture of stock and overclocked cards (and ghz edition), which says very little about the actual performance (especially since there are two versions of the 7950).
I guess it does give a general idea about the performance though, around on par with the "older" 7950, but falls behind the boosted model.
Considering the ghz edition gets to be up to 150$ more its not really a fare comparison. they should only compare cards that have the same core clock. then it would be fare to say which card is better.

Wat uh that's only the case with the 7970 if you buy any 7950 atm it should have the new bios but you could get unlucky.
Yes we should only compare things running a the same GHZ we need to overclock the 2500k to 3.6 when we benchmark it against the 8150 or else its not fair.
We should also only compare cars with the same horse power otherwise its unfair.

My point was to see what architecture is better if you want to get serious about comparing the cards.
Edit-But i guess clock speed has alot to do with the architecture.
I think so, as it uses a lot less power and performs a little better
they probably could have gotten away with a single 6-pin connector, but whatever, it leaves more overclocking headroom, and the 660Ti performs similarly to the 580 (or so I heard, haven't comparisons between the 2)

Its 7.4% faster at games.
However I would consider the 580 better overall for the compute performance.

Except what if that arch is better at clocking higher?
I put that in the edit.
