1680 X 1050
HD 7970 ( 925) - 91
GTX 670 (980) - 93
HD 7970 (1050) - 100
GTX 680 (1050) - 100
HD 7970 (1 Ghz) cards do 1125 Mhz at stock voltage in AMD CCC and even higher with voltage tweaking. HD 7970 (1 Ghz) is faster than GTX 670 (980). Anybody who is telling you otherwise is not telling the truth.

Your link takes us to a test with the AMD card using the latest beta driver but the Nvidia cards are using the last whql release. There are some decent increases in the latest beta from Nvidia as well.

Your narrow minded biased approach to hardware is not helping people at all on this forum and You get your knickers in a twist when people get frustrated with you.
