Serious Sam Histogram
Using the same custom demo in SS:SE we'll look at the performance over the the course of the benchmark.
At a resolution of 1024x768 we can see that only at a couple of points does the performance drop below 100 FPS. Most of the time both boards are rendering between the 100-160 FPS range.
A the resolution goes up, as we'd expect, the performance goes down. At 1280x1024 we se that both boards are rendering in the 80-120 FPS range, but neither drop below 80 FPS at any point.
Finally, at 1600x1200 the performance range is between 60-100 FPS, but both boards only skirt 60 FPS, without dropping below it.
