I pretty much only play BF3 and I had been repeatedly told how much faster the 680 was in this game. Particularly at the lowly 1900x1200 res I use.
Now, I have a 7970, a huge thing that can be a bit hooverish when annoyed, combine that with <ahem> possible performance issues on my expensive card, and I was unhappy. I was considering trading it in on a 680 Lightning. The Lightning seems cool, quiet and suposedly much faster than the 7970.
Then I saw this. Which showed the 680 handily beating the 7970, BUT only at the price of an additional £190.

If we then look again at another 680, against a 7970 with an OC equivalent to mine. The 680 is slower !

So, now I'm hanging on to the 7970, and wondering did I just fall for the marketing ?
