It's the same architecture, same silicon. Both have 1024 SP, running at ~ 1 Ghz, with a 256b wide memory bus running at 5.7GHz. The difference you think you seeing as an architectural issue is actually a driver issue.

Nope, this card you mention is 1996.8 Tflops card. The point of this thread is not to see which card is faster overall, but flop per flop. Yes your card performs better than a stock 7850 but it has a big Teraflop increase.

Solely because it's clocked higher. I was wrong about the 7850 running at 1GHz (mine does but it was an overclocked card), the default is 860Mhz. Radeon 370 runs at 975Mhz, or ~13% faster. 1.76 Gigaflops x 1.13 = 1.98 Gigaflops. Again, they are the same architecture, yet a 13% clock increase has erased a 30% speed deficit by your numbers, demonstrating that it is more recent drivers optimized for the later games used in your comparison that makes the difference.
What you have proved is that flops is silly metric to use to compare performance with unless you are only doing compute. But that's all you can really conclude from your data, nothing more.
