Nvidia reclaims performance crown with GeForce GTX 680

My 680s have been about 1 hour away from me (driving) for the last 5 hours... so since it's UPS I think I may have them tomorrow

Guess what I just got in!!!!!

Okay - just got my setup done (seems my MSI Afterburner in my startup was causing repeated Red Screens of Death) so here are some of my benches. I've included my old Quadfire 5970 benches in for reference. I'll continue adding to this post so you can see the difference.

The new 3.0 version of the Heaven Benchmark.

Very similar results here

Metro 2033 benchmark:

All I can say is WOW... the difference is huge

AvP benchmark:

Slightly slower results

I'll re-run some of my other benches when I get time and compare previous results.

Yes - everything is at stock except my CPU. The 5970 numbers had stock GPU timings as well. I also changed the link to the 5970 benches of Heaven since I accidentally linked a differently configured run. They should be similar settings now if you refresh.
