You're going to see similar results for the next couple of pages - at least until we get to the interesting bits; power, temp and noise - but when gaming, all three factory-overclocked 7950s deliver buttery-smooth performance at 1080p. Of course, the higher the overclock, the better the framerate - though, there's not a lot separating the three.
