Sleeping Dogs benchmark results

Benchmark Results: The Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 Vapor-X card lost to the GeForce GTX 680 at 1920x1080 and won and 2560x1600 with the Catalyst 12.9 beta drivers. With the AMD Catalyst 12.11 'Never Settle' drivers installed the AMD Radeon HD 7970 was able to take a clean victory!  The new drivers boosted the average FPS by 5% at 2560x1600 and 6% at 1920x1080!  Very nice performance gains were seen in Sleeping Dogs thanks to the new drivers.
