Yeah, that is what annoying about most of these sites.

Most early reviewers bench against base clocks. Well, nVidia always has power combustion in mind compared to AMD. They will down clock or set low factory base clocks to abide below a certain TDP.

Clock for Clock the 680 is faster than a 7970. Sorry guys, it is. You will never see that because it is always the base clocks vs base clocks. Annoying at times. Most gamers and myself always put a +50 on the core just cause, I do this for Titans just because the base/boost clocks are low. A +50 on the core really makes those things shine.. just imagine +100 to bring it up to AMD clock speeds.

Just really eats at me because most ppl wouldn't know that these benches are Base Clock vs Base Clock.
