That looks very disappointing. I'm looking at 1080p since that's what I have. BF3 same as 580 and Skyrim same average fps as the 7950 an 7970.
BF3 is not one of the 79x0 series strong points, them using in game AA doesn't help matters.. With any luck drivers will help over time. As the 580 does have pretty mature drivers now. Only time will tell there.
Although in my own experience with BF3 and my 7950 running at 1050/1350 with vsync on it very rarely drops below 60fps. One of the keys is to NOT use the in game AA, as it does not play well with AMD cards. If you turn on AA via control center the performance is quite a bit better.
For Skyrim, I think thats the CPU limiting it. Yes they are using a 5GHz 6 core i7, but the fact that all 4 chips almost all have the same average FPS makes me think the CPU is playing a part. Which is what we have seen with Skyrim in many other reviews.
