yep add to the fact that at max overclocks the 7970 is generally faster than a 680 gtx at its max overclock makes it a pretty sweet deal for the 7970 IMO.

In our overclocking tests versus the Radeon HD 7970 we found some interesting results. The Radeon HD 7970 was faster in one game, but in the others overclocking brought it up to just GTX 680 overclocked performance. However, in order to get there you have to overclock your HD 7970 past 1250MHz. This is how we see it based on our testing. If you want your Radeon HD 7970 to out-perform a GeForce GTX 680, you can do that at about 1.2GHz GPU frequency on a Radeon HD 7970. However, if you want your HD 7970 to out-perform an overclocked GeForce GTX 680, then you will have to take the frequency past 1250MHz, preferably between 1250-1300MHz to make it perform on par with a fully overclocked GTX 680.

Sigh..knew I should have waited. Just installed my 7950 2 weekends ago :(. Oh well..love this gd card.

I can guarantee you this price cut comes with an increase in supply.

We can only hope the same happens to the GTX 680.. someday.

can you reach 60 fps and more with a single display? Maybe at 720p resolution or maybe 1080p? Does size matter? Also considering mods as a factor.DeltaX_basic
