No way I buy a second 680 now. Rather wait for the 7XX and get instantly two.

Lol, in what exactly is the 680 faster, pray tell? Pretty much common knowledge that the 7970 is ultimately the faster card when overclocking and especially at higher resolutions. 12.11 only cemented this fact in games such as BF3. The 680 is better for those who want to plug and play and not worry about overclocking and overvolting or various driver headaches. The 7970 is best for tinkerers who will go the extra mile for ultimate performance.

In his defense, he was responding to this:

Wow talk about being defensive about AMD, nice completely pointless rant but if you would have READ my quote and the original post, he asked why people buy the 680 over the 670, the 7970 wasn't in the conversation

Just like there are 7950 Evangelists & 2500K Evangelists, there are 670 Evangelists.

2 cards is alays the sweet spot AMD or Nvidia. 3 & 4 cards are a pain in the butt!

Lol, in what exactly is the 680 faster, pray tell? Pretty much common knowledge that the 7970 is ultimately the faster card when overclocking and especially at higher resolutions. 12.11 only cemented this fact in games such as BF3. The 680 is better for those who want to plug and play and not worry about overclocking and overvolting or various driver headaches. The 7970 is best for tinkerers who will go the extra mile for ultimate performance.

7970 is faster is most games except BF3. I so want to go AMD, especially with the better multi-card scaling. But I have 3 3d monitors so its Nvidia only for me, plus i do like some PhysX.
