Performance
Far Cry
Far Cry's the most interesting case out of the three tests, so we show that first. Remember we only tested at high res (1600x1200 and 1920x1200) and with a good level of AA and AF applied at all times, making things sensitive to memory bandwidth on the card.
With ~4% more memory bandwidth, the Superclocked eVGA 7900 GS is quicker than the reference 7900 GT, with the stock 7900 GS not far behind at all. Turning off a VS and FP quad has little performance hit at these settings, showing how bandwidth bound the configurations on test are. Pretty cool for you the consumer, as you'll see.
Quake 4
Same again, just this time the Superclocked GS can't quite take the GT at 1600x1200, although if you check out the difference you'd call them equal, the Superclocked board carrying 99.9% of the performance of the GT at that setting.
Splinter Cell: CT
Splinter Cell is slightly different, 7900 GS ~7% slower than 7900 GT at 1600x1200, and ~9% slower at 1920x1200. The Superclocked eVGA 7900 GS keeps pace, though.
