I don't see how the 2gb vram is an issue in the bench posted.
The 590 has only 1.5gb per gpu and beat the 7970.
Yea we know 4gb 680 would be better, but clearly a bigger factor in the performance achieved is gpu grunt.
If you were planning to play arma you'd be better off picking up 7970s going by that info anyway. Amd cards seem to outperform nvidia across the board.

wow, this I never knew. I thought AMD won some and NVIDIA won some. I don't suppose you can link me to somewhere proving this?

Lighten up dude, there will always be debate about gpu's, there's no need to resort to personal insults.

I meant on arma 2 from that bench lol, 'across the board' as in across the range from high-end card to mid. Bad wording on my part.
Well installed and tried the 300.83 drivers I read didn't suffer with the stuttering problem and although they were better it just wasn't as smooth as it should be. I can only guess that this is a vsync driver problem from nvidia that needs addressing. Anyway I've put my 7970 back in now, tried a few games and the difference is like night and day.
Anyone want to buy a gtx 680? The fastest most powerful single gpu card there is

With your issues, sure for 50% of its value
haha7970s and 680s trade blows equally Dave, stop being so bladdy biased.
And yes, I have had both cards, but kept the 680 as its slightly better in the games I specifically play.
Could some of this be down to drivers? The 7970 has been out for longer so drivers are more mature than the 680's at the moment.
Then again the 7970 is a great card! I very nearly moved from my 680 to a 7950 but stayed in the end.

I wish I could but I don't have enough posts
Now I am having trouble with my 7970 and it showing a blank display when first booting up. If I turn my monitor off and on again it shows. I'm wondering if it is a problem with the card.
Your 7970 is in a huff because it can sense you tried to replace it with a 680
The 680 knew it was being removed, so probably left some driver conflicts behind to **** you off.
