I'm looking to get a single 7970 or 680 for my next rig, but it's been very tough to choose because I game at a resolution between "normal" and "large" (2560 x 1600). It seems that if my resolution was a bit lower, a 680 would be the recommended choice. If I was running multiple monitors, it seems the 7970 VRAM advantage would be the selling point. The benchmarks at my resolution seem to point to the two cards being almost identical.
I'm coming from a 4870x2 and the stutter and driver issues have been a real pain. I'm looking for a "smoother" and easier gaming experience, that's for sure. I've heard that SLI is smoother than CFX, but does that also hold true with the single cards? Will a single 680 feel "smoother" than a 7970?
I'd like actual owners to chime in because the benchmarks don't seem to speak to these small nuances - and I'd like to make the smartest choice possible!
