My long term impressions of both the 680 and 7970....

Are you saying cpus aren't fast at stock?

As usual, wrong.

7970 is fast at stock as well.

But it is even faster once overclocked.

Same with CPUs, 2500k 2600k both are fast at stock, but much faster when overclocked.

Compared to their overclocked counterparts they are pretty slow (not talking about gaming here), same goes for the 7970.

I don't understand why I need to explain each thing in so much detail to you 😛

you guys are doing it wrong.

tweaking/overclocking and benching is half the fun.

Back in 2000-2006 it was fun. After awhile its not. Benching is great for those new to overclocking, although just upping the multi isn't very hard to do.

FSB overclocking, figuring out vdimm voltage, vcore, mem timings is what was fun.
 
I give AMD credit for those who like to overclock....they dumb down their cards to make people believe they are getting amazing overclocks.

It's an advantage NV had since they came late to the party, they knew what the bar was and pushed their product next to its limit. Is that not a correct view?
