NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Review: Retaking The Performance Crown
by Ryan Smith on March 22, 2012 9:00 AM ESTStarcraft II
Our next game is Starcraft II, Blizzard’s 2010 RTS megahit. Much like Portal 2 it’s a DX9 game designed to run on a wide range of hardware so performance is quite peppy with most high-end cards, but it can still challenge a GPU when it needs to.
While AMD tends to suffer in Starcraft II at lower resolutions, at 2560 we tend to get a good brawl and the GTX 680 doesn’t disappoint. Here it leads the 7970 by 13% and leads the GTX 580 by 39%.

He states the facts that shame amd's recent launch fiasco and it's trolling...Way to go. Tell the truth, you're a troll. Only if we tell lies for amd are we being a good poster boy.

The 680 stomped the 7970 in Civ5 and the reviewer obviously a you know what fan, said the 7970 tied. He's trying as hard as he possibly can for his brothers like you.mschira - Friday, March 23, 2012 - link
Oh come on. You're just annoyed he beat you.And his comment almost makes sense.

You should probably go look at the charts, at least.Belard - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - link
Er... no. In some games, AMD's $350 card was faster... in many games they are are comparable with each other. But nothing deadly to AMD.In general, the 680 is the faster card.... hopefully we'll see a price war.
