There are other factors besides actual gameplay that affect i7 performance in gaming, like hyperthreading for instance. But whatever, if people like reading results with crippled systems, so be it. Maybe they turned it off.

Anyway, i've read this on vr-zone that the 9.4 driver will be released along side the rv790. I wonder if there's any significance to it.
