AMD's partners will start selling factory faster clocked models as well, so the performance bracket for these cards to operate in can still rise another 10% easily. That said you should also realize that the cards tested today are reference sample. The Radeon HD 7870 on it's end riding the GTX 580's "toosh" all the time and for mid-range targeted cards, that shows a lot of performance. The reality is that the Radeon HD 7850 is actually positioned against the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, but it is battling with the GeForce GTX 570 easily just as well. The entire 28nm chip stack has now been filled and both the Radeon HD 78 are graphics cards that pack a serious amount of performance. The 7900 was received positive, we think the 7700 series is okay (albeit too expensive), the 7800 series however surprises me the best in every forseeable way. With the GCN architecture AMD has proven itself to deliver a mature and great performing series of GPUs.
