After the latest "Never Settle" drivers, the GTX680 has been dethroned.
Did you even watched video? There screenshots in it with all places at rankings at publication time...
Yes, 7970 with "optimized" drivers score higher, now even average joe with his aircooled 7970 score better than some previous LN2 runs. It happen before too, from both camps (NV with PhysX and now ATI with tesselation disabled), but overclocking is not just getting big number, it's about pushing hardware to limit.
And GTX680 is still hold all or near all top scores on official 3Dmark HOF, so throne is relative thing anyway...
Nvidia still in third place though. Good try, Kepler. Disappointed in Nvidia after their godly gtx 580. :(
But many people are disappointed in NVIDIA moves, locking OC...
EVGA no.1.
You can remove motherboard tray and make benchmark table, than when you finish easy back hardware inside of case.
