AMD Radeon HD 7950 Review - Driver Improvements

As part of this review, I updated the benchmarks for the Radeon HD 7970. This was done at the request of AMD, due to improvements in the card's performance with the updated drivers.

The claims were that improvements up to 10% were seen in selected games. I have updated the numbers for the Radeon HD 7970, and show the comparisons here

Overall there are some decent games in a few of our titles. A total weighted average (adding up all the frames in each "set", and comparing the totals) shows 4% - 5% improvement in widescreen performance, and 2% improvement in Eyefinity performance.

Granted these weighted averages are pulled down, due to no improvements in several titles. There are noticeable improvements in AvP, Dirt 3 and Metro 2033. If you play these titles, changes are you will notice (and appreciate) the improvements.
