Although it cranked out FPS averages that were competitive with the GeForce, the 7950 produced those frames at an uneven paceā€”our frame time plots for the Radeon were riddled with latency spikes. As a result, the Radeon's scores were rather poor in our distinctive, latency-oriented performance metrics. Not only that, but our seat-of-the-pants impressions backed that up: play-testing on the GeForce felt noticeably smoother in many cases.
I guess I shouldn't update to Win 8 for a while...
