The funny thing about all of this is that it's a moot point if the card is generating anything over 60fps if you're using a 60hz monitor. If you're running a 7970 at 60fps on ultra settings, and you've spent a fuck ton of money getting the 680 to get 18fps more, then you're wasting your money because your monitor won't display those frames.

If you have a 120hz monitor though, it's a different story. If it gets you from 90fps to 120fps, then you're golden, and it would be worth it. You really have to weigh these options though, otherwise it's a boost for games that will stress your system that haven't even come out yet. And this shit moves SO fast, it's tough on our pocketbooks.

I just mean underwhelming because it's more of the same. I'd like to see a next iteration of tech be like a 50fps boost. Something that will make me salivate at the thought of changing out both of my crossfired cards that aren't that old.

Resolution is also a huge contributing factor though. Think of the folks who having 2560x1600 resolutions, or those running in Eyefinity/nVSurround. A more powerful card that can push more pixels in a bench can make a difference at larger resolutions.
