To a single card? You'll see a drop, unless you are vRAM limited in your games.
You'll probably want to go up to 980SLI.
I've been looking at 970SLI from 670SLI and it looks like a 30-50% uplift. I also game at 1440p so the extra vRAM is going to come in handy.

Unless you are going to go SLI again then you could stay with the current setup you have. A 980ti might be a good answer though but it will be a lot more expensive than 2 970s and we don't know the specs yet
Since SLI/CF scales well for the first two GPU's, the GPU to upgrade to would have to be twice as fast as the old GPUs ... simply put, they're not twice as fast as your 680.

He's downgrading though if he's going from SLI 680 to single 980.
Also the 980 is extremely poor value. Comparing to the 970, it is 110-115% of its performance, but 170% of its price...

I've gone from SLI 680s to a single 980. Yeh there may be a slight performance drop, or its about the same, but I did it for other reasons (temperature and fan noise!)
