WoW, both 7900s dropped a few frames (like 3%)
in elder scrolls the difference is massive. the older review was limited by the cpu (4.2ghz 3960X) and in the 70s fps on all gpus and the new one is over 120fps. so now im thinking they changed their platform around and why were seeing such differences.
Crysis 2 dx9 performance was fixed in the new drivers.
Skyrim performance was fixed with 1.3 patch.
Could be that Dirt 3 took a hit with the new drivers?
