Best for Each Removed - (AVP / MAFIA II)








WINNER: AMD

NVIDIA : 98.63% Performance
AMD : 100.00% Performance


It seems like Performance is within error across these tests. The 7970 has a slight, average 50 Mhz, clock advantage, while the GTX 680 has a ~150 Mhz (600 Mhz ) memory clock advantage, otherwise the setups are identical. 

EDIT: It is interesting to see that DIRT 3 performance goes to AMD, and Metro 2033 performance goes to Nvidia, the opposite of what is found with only a single card comparison between the GTX 680 and the 7970.
