However when we look at the frame time performance, while the 7790 was still faster at 1680x1050 beating the GTX 650 Ti by a 17% margin it was considerably slower at 1920x1200. Still neither card was even close to providing playable performance at this resolution using the high quality settings, so it’s not really a big deal.
