The game is a typical, linear first-person shooter but offers a talent tree, fast paced action, and one-on-one duels with special game mechanics.

compute performance and power is reffering too

YES YES YES YES YES

they are maybe referring to price/performance.

This one doesn't make much sense.

The rating is based on the GPUBoss scores alone, which are in the black box at the top. They rate on really specific things, that Passmark, and 3DMark don't seem to reward. Seems odd, but the first box at the top for the Gaming - makes me wonder if the real-world performance is better on the 7870. I have an R7870 Twin Frozr edition now, and it kicks butt, but I want a Nvidia card so I can play around with Gsync soon.

Sure looks that way...

@Zeppast i think its glitched

Still scratching my head on this one, how does an HD 7870 beat a GTX 760? when 99% of the benchmarks show the 760 ahead.
