Yes, 5xxx has worse image quality than 4xxx. It's IQ has obviously been sacrificed for speed. Whether this has been done intentionally in driver code (i.e. cheating for FPS and benchmark scores), or is a genuine hardware limitation of 5xxx series which cannot be fixed without taking a performance hit which would bring performance to be in line with NVIDIA (or lower) it remains to be seen.
