So I took every GPU I had handy except my Vapor-x and ran them in 3D Mark 13 Ice Storm. I had to do this because I was using DX9 cards as well and Cloud Gate would not work on some. What is strange is the 7950 GX2 which is a POWER HOUSE did poorly on the first test and score WELL behind a 256MB GDDR2 card. Also it's temps don't seem right, it felt WAY hotter than 69*C when I pulled it. A few minutes after the test. The HD 6770 was pulled when the sensor was recording about 75*C and it felt much cooler than the 7950 GX2. Temp 1 and 2 read over 90*C but temp 3 max was 71*C (Not sure what it was when I pulled, temp 1 read 75*C).EDIT: What's interesting, is the fire strike test (for gaming PC's) GTX 650 out performs the HD 6770.
