What a truck load of crap. By that logic a GTX 680 does not provide any improvement in playable settings compared to GTX 670 especially when both cards are overclocked. so does it mean both cards are of same value.
Isn't it? Thought that was pretty common knowledge, the 670 is only a few small percent slower and considerably cheaper.
"Value" is a opinion, to me the 670 has "More Value" because it's nearly as fast for less. The 680 is still faster, but I do not value it's speed over the 670 as much as the price tag requests.
About GTX 680 pretty close to HD 7970 Ghz you don't see the reviews on latest games.

Reference stock vs aftermarket overclocked to it's limit, seems like a reasonable comparison to me. :thumbsup:
You have all the things you want going for you. Yet it still can't max it out. Granted we're talking about Nvidia's bandwidth bottlenecked mid-range card at the least common resolution in gaming - but I'll give you that Gaming Evolved title. "Grats" But I don't play the Asain GTA that can't sell many copy's even at $20 on steam sales, so it's a pointless comparison for me, and based on sales the vast majority of gamers.
BTW Stock vs Stock there was no difference in playable settings, I don't think there are too many other titles where you could cherry pick so hard yet do so well to prove what I had just been trying to convey.
40 fps is considered playable.
Oh it is now? Subjective is subjective, I game a lot at 30 fps, but I don't claim to believe that would pass for good enough around here. What ever you think is playable is up to you there is no x = y universal fps number that appeals to everyone.
"The 12.11 drivers represent a new beginning for the HD 7970 GHz Edition and while we haven’t tested the rest of AMD’s lineup, we’re sure the situation above will repeat itself throughout their product stack. This is not a selective performance bump in a few AMD-friendly titles either. Rather, the 12.11s offer an across-the-board performance increase that pushes the HD 7970 GHz Edition right past the GTX 680.
From a price / performance standpoint, there are actually very few reasons to recommend the GTX 680 at this point and at higher detail settings there’s just no competition"
"
To head AMD off before the lucrative Christmas shopping season, the 600-series needs price drops and a continuation of the Borderlands 2 and Assassin's Creed bundles to remain competitive. And don’t think for a moment that NVIDIA’s driver team is sitting idle, especially now. "
Didn't you get the memo.
That's great, if that is how this generation closes out AMD pulled a fast one and dealt themselves a very strong position. However I don't believe that will be the end of this story, there is still a bit of time left before refreshes occur. Undoubtedly if anyone still wants to purchase a high end video card prior to a refresh AMD currently holds the strongest price/perf position, however if that is enough to win out over Nvidia's superior software or if Nvidia answers with price cuts of their own remains yo be seen.
AMD needs to offer more hardware for less because they simply can not compete on the software side, this isn't a simple price/performance situation as RS tries to convey endlessly otherwise AMD would be the industry leader and not the followers they are.
