| Percentage faster/slower at Extreme |
HD 7950 | HD 7970 |
|---|---|---|
| 11.1% | -7.0% |
The solid frequencies give the XFX R7950 a meaningful boost over the reference HD 7950, and the way the fewer shaders/texture units and clockspeeds play out, it's seven per cent slower than the top-line HD 7970 card.
