The number of people who watercool with custom loops is MINUTE compared to the number who overclock. It's a niche of a niche, and adds even further large expense to an already costly card, all to match/slightly beat it finally. For virtually everyone, the GTX 680 is the better choice... if you are doing custom watercooling, well, that's an exceptional case and in your particular circumstance you may be better served with a Radeon 7970.

No i am saying HD 7970 has more potential under water. Its a root many people take. You dont want to go water and end up spending 100+ and not gain a single MHz.

BY that time, all the kinks should be fixed by updated drivers for both AMD & Nvidia
