This indeed seems to be the case. And if it's a software issue, I don't know what else to try.
My 6800 GT at 404/1040 at a resolution of 1280 by 960 with the driver set to 4x anti-aliasing/8x anistropic/high quality -- provides over 55 FPS.
My 7800 GS OC at 400/1250 with other settings identical, only manages 51.7 FPS.
Does this make any sense? This was a big let down when I installed the thing. In yesterday's reviews, I learned that the 7800 GS only has 8 ROP pipes versus the 6800 GT's 16. Maybe that's the problem here.
I know this was a questionable upgrade. I will say that transparent anti-aliasing is very nice. Still hoping this is a software issue, somehow...
