Sorry about your lack of Adobe awesomeness support.
(you can actually just edit this list if your GPU isn't on it and it's newer than the 285)

I use GIMP bro. Adobe can go suck a nut with their bloatware.

Whoa whoa I didn't know GIMP did video and effects editing?!!

(Because it doesn't)

I can't wait any longer. My CPU temps hit 65 just by watching a single youtube vid with no other tabs open in Chrome. I trust Hardware Canucks' review, so I'm going to go with the Corsair H60.

But you're talking to me like I need CUDA, and since I don't do video and effects editing, it's a wasted Nvidia/Adobe feelgood effort.

My fanboyism > your arguements.

Overclocked results.

They trade blows. Fuck yeah, head-to-head competition is awesome. Also, it's looking highly unlikely that we'll see GK110 before the HD 8970...

[Cortexian]

Those results look more like immature drivers on the 680's part. That's usually the case when one card beats out another in some tests but then loses by a significant amount in others (like that Metro 2033 test).

[Warsaw]

HD7970 has immature drivers, too. The GTX 680 performs poorly in Metro 2033 and Crysis anyways, a result of the architecture this time around. At stock clocks, it still lost to the HD7970.
