Not really, its more like 2% or worse (removing dirt 3, or use the proper dirt 3 numbers where 7970 didn't lose 10 fps!!) at 1600p.
And you know that the numbers from the GTX680 review are not the "proper dirt 3 numbers"? :hmm:
AMD is gonna have to drop prices across the board.
$449 - 7970
$349 - 7950
$299 - 7870
$229 - 7850
Like I said they would/should be. Them trying to rape us for last couple months generally left a bad taste in my mouth so I'll prolly just get nV though no matter what they do.
No they aren't, because the 7970 dirt 3 numbers are significantly lower than their own results previously, which is NOT the case at any other site. Looks to be a bad job of number entering into excel to make graphs.
AHAHAA..
As opposed to NV raping consumers all these years?

So gtx680 = gtx580 +10-20% (1600p/1080p)

nV has always given better value than AMD except 5800s and 9700pro and they never charged $600 for top card and $359 for middleware like 7870.
And the other sites using the same system, the same tester and the same bench?
Really let it go. Nobody knows why the numbers are different. But to say that the higher numbers are the real one is a little bit funny.

You are out of your mind with definite statements like that...Both companies trade places for best value, lately they have stagnated, but before, one company would "rape" you for your money while the other had its way with you next generation. Its called profit, not rape btw...
The higher numbers from their same review team, on identical setups, at identical resolution/settings. Not from a different site, you are missing the point deliberately?
As to prices and $, I will buy whatever i want thats not the point. The point is that people bash AMD for overcharging while praising NV is completely ignorant of history, and their garbage needs to be rectified.

Do you have ANY idea about the point he's arguing?And the other sites using the same system, the same tester and the same bench?

No it's called rape when you are outside price/performance ratios like AMD has been with 7000 series cards.
7870 can barley beat a GTX 570 (5% aggregate) and costs 33% more money.
7850 is 2% faster than GTX 580 and costs $70/20% more.
That's rape.
Saw this on XS.org,
Look at the the 7970 #s

I just hope AMD can actually take advantage of nvidia disregarding GPU Compute, something nvidia has always touted. (wtb/ Folding benches).

Its called having new and shiny stuff, its always overpriced. Remember the last time Nvidia was first to the market with the next generation? You might not be old enough to remember given your antics, but I distinctly remember the GTX 8800's sitting pretty at just over $800. But that't not rape or anything right?

The GTX280 came after the 8800s, and they were $650 for the top end card (for acout a month), after which the price got slashed due to the 4800 series.
Why focus on the older 8800s?
