The latest AMD beta drivers now allow my 7950 to FINALLY work with Mantle, whereas before it would outright crash. I went ahead and used the Star Swarm stress test (available on Steam) to get these results.
I'm using an MSI Twin Frozr III 7950, overclocked.

I think it's safe to say that my 7950 is ready for Star Citizen, using Mantle of course, because this is a HUGE performance increase.
