AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition Review: Battling For The Performance Crown
...
For the first time in 6 years we can say that AMD is truly competitive for the single-GPU performance crown. The Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition isn’t quite fast enough to outright win, but it is unquestionably fast enough to tie the GeForce GTX 680 as the fastest single-GPU video card in the world today.

With that said there’s a lot of data to go through, so let’s dive in.
...

AMD's Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition
Racapturing the mojo
...
The Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition has indeed recaptured the single-GPU performance title for AMD; it's even faster than Zotac's GTX 680 AMP! Edition. And at $499.99, the 7970 GHz Edition is unambiguously a better value than the stock-clocked GeForce GTX 680. Everything seems to be going AMD's way—even our power consumption results turned out to be closer than expected.

Just reading a 7990 review...

Horrible power consumption though, with that power draw I'm surprised it isn't frying the PCI-E traces... :-k
