No, it is not...

I sincerely hope the Titan will outperform my CF of 7970 @ 1200/1700, if thats the case now it would be the moment to get rid of my crossfire.

Relative performance table ? Go pick up some game benchmarks and come back, you have plenty on that review. Don't worry, i will help you: And i'm pretty sure the 7970GHZ results are based on the 12.11 BETA which are a couple of months old...

The 7970 GHZ outperforms the 680 in most of the current games not only benchmarks.

Firestrike Xtreme: Firestrike Normal:

You are right but still, the 7970 GHZ outperforms the GTX 680 @ Crysis 3, its not a lie when they say AMD has the "the world's most powerful graphics cards". http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Crysis-3-PC-235317/Tests/Crysis-3-Beta-Test-Erste-Benchmarks-1046328/...

Besides AC3 and a few games where the CF profiles are clearly not working the ARES is faster. 2560x1600: Only 3% ? the gap looks bigger to me.

This is weaker for you ?: It's a limited edition, they've always been expensive but you can get the same performance with two 7970 clocked to 1100/1500.

They only released the GK104 because of the well known manufacture problems of TSMC (the yields weren't high enough), if NVIDIA could they would have sold the GK110 for a premium price (800-900 u$d like the GTX 690 or 8800 Ultra) without hurting the sells of the GK104. In fact i believe the...

Few benchs results using the Beta11 + CAP 12.11 (7970 @ 1200/6800 + 2700K @ 4.60Ghz HT off): 3DMark11 Performance (11628 GPU Score): 3DMark11 Xtreme (3453 GPU Score): Hitman Absolution Ultra Preset (NO MSAA): Hitman Absolution Ultra Preset (4x MSAA):

Impressive results: 7970 @ 1230/1700 [CAT 12.8]: 7970 @ 1230/1700 [CAT 12.11] So right now we can consider the 7970 GHZ as the fastest single-gpu graphics card ?.

Honestly i was so close to sell my 7970 (1250/1700, 1.19v - Accelero ), somehow my sixth sense told me to stop fucking wasting money xD...glad i listened. Nevertheless i think they saved this kind of performance boost for the right moment (now) which is kinda gay considering the price some of...

My results after running Heaven benchmark @ 8x MSAA / 16x AF / Tess @ Extreme: Highest temp: 63 degrees with the card OCed to 1225/1650 (29 degrees ambient temp). Check out the Toxic temps @ 1200/1600 and i am not even considering noise. So...thats enough for you ? As i said the Toxic cooler...

I agree its a great cooler but the Accelero 7970 is better.

If they decide to keep using the same internal TIM (3570K/3770K) those Ivy-E of 6 and 8 cores will be a HUGE fail, the temperatures under OC will be terribly high. In the other hand if they decide to go back to the fluxless solder it will just prove they fucked up intentionally with the current...
