Which has a better flow to it?

How would you say it?

In context:

1. The 7950 graphics card greatly outperforms the 6950.

2. The 6950 graphics card is outperformed greatly by the 7950.


Cheers

Sorry, but passive and active?
 
Active: A beats B.
Passive: B is beaten by A.

Active: A outperforms B.
Passive: B is outperformed by B.
