seeing two 480's are very similar to two 570's how much performance decrease did you get? is it a noticeable downgrade?

Honestly my 570s were hitting a wall at 1440p with games like BF3 and Crysis 2 making me stutter a lot and I had to turn down settings, that pushed me to upgrade.
Every other game I was getting 60 fps with vsync on with the exception of the usual metros and crysis, which I have beat a few times and will probably never boot again.
I would say ~90% of the games I play at 1440p I still get 60fps 99% of the time with the 680. There are a few games that stress it at that res, but I don't play games like Metro or Crysis 24/7, I play a wide range of games and like I said, most run at 60 without any problem.
Just getting rid of the sli problems (like playing a beta and getting my gpu being used 100% rather than only 1 of the 2 and suffering through terrible performance) A lot of games still don't get perfect scaling, so these numbers some are throwing out are somewhat invalid.
I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. There is a difference, but when a 680 maxes almost everything anyway, I can deal with the handful of times I have to use 2xAA instead of 4x at 1440p.
I also know it will hold value for a while compared to my 570s which were dropping every day they weren't sold.

it's been a while and the warranties on my cards just expired expired last July so I think upgrading my card now is the perfect time
Even weirder that I remembered it
