OC vs OC comparison: http://vr-zone.com/articles/asus-gtx-680-2gb-overclocking-review-win-some-lose-some/15322-5.html
This is gonna vary from card to card as chip quality differs of course. But at least they compare more than one game. 7970 doesn't look as bad when both cards are going all-out OC. But it's still clearly losing in most cases. Check out the AvP differential though, I'm guessing that was NOT a TWIMTBP game.
That very bench you link clearly has the OC 7970 (1.25ghz) winning, vs a very heavily OC gtx680 (1.33ghz).
The fact that 102 vs 106 fps in BF3 ultra 1080p shows how well 7970s scale since its a weak game for the radeons to start with.
Bump the 7970 to 1.3ghz and its a clear winner even at 1080p, it will easily beat the OC gtx680 at 1600p.
So there we have it, "stock" gtx680s > 7970, OC 7970s > OC gtx680.
I'm still going to get a gtx680 since the power use is less, the PCB is shorter at 10 inches and its cheaper. Both are very good once OC, but I'm leaning towards OC 7970 beating out the gtx680 OC.
