AMD’s CPU integrated memory controller eliminates the chipset from this test. Both platforms perform identically.

Do they even look at these graphs before they post articles? :confused: It's amateurish..

What a :banana::banana::banana::banana: graph is that. You'd just think the 780a is three times better:rolleyes:

i guess the tool they use to make the graphs is set so that it automaticly adjusts the lines to create such a gap so that it is more visable to the readers.

I guess non of them actualy proof read the article.
Lets just call it journalism at its best.

True. But it's still fun to point out how badly a review site can make results look.

(If this was a review between CPU brands... you'd have the "winner" telling the "loser" just how badly they got beat. And LOOK at the proof... benchmarks don't lie! <sigh>)

0.075&#37; advantage ftw... Since the benchmarks are that accurate and all... and the margin of error is much much smaller than that. Stupid bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:.
