twisting things?

the 7970 led the 580 with 24% on average... that number includes a few titles which were completely cpu limited (starcraft) and were with the release drivers of the 7970 (which according to anand already imrpoved performance in some cases by 5 to 10%). So we are loking closer to 30% and not 15% as you try to falsly inform us.
even with the best numbers seen so far.. the 680 looks to be less than 10% faster on average. (and that is on 1080p or lower).

Personally i don't even expect it to be faster on average at all... but its looks to be an amazing chip for its die size and power consumption. (i just hope this chip isn't pushed to far on defaults that even a minimal oc will need additional voltage, thus busting out the power consumption values)
