Compared to the performance of the HD 7970 the speed boost isn't huge, but on the whole the GTX 680 has the edge.

Looking at the Crysis 2 bench though the AMD card has the lead, but that is still within benchmark variance.

In overclocked trim, via the EVGA Precision tool, performance does step up a decent chunk, but the SLI performance is a little less impressive.

That's likely down to early drivers but we didn't see the longed for 2x speed boost we've sometimes seen from SLI combinations.
