Don't take me wrong, it is great to see an nVidia card among the AMD ones. FINALLY. But still some way to go for nV.

few frames give or take is dead even for me, especially if it is not playable on either.

I'm confused... the chart you link shows the GTX 680 as better perf/watt than the Radeon 7970.

When a few frames are technically 15-20%, it shows the scalability will be better in SLI overall for playability. Hypothetical, BF3 24fps on Radeon 7970, 29fps GTX 680. Then two cards.... and your numbers look more like 44fps 7970 CFX and 54fps GTX 680 (assuming 85% SLI and CF scaling). The gap widens in absolute # despite the percentage being the same. Otherwise, you are correct... but those numbers result in playable vs. not enjoyable in these edge cases. Hopefully this helps explain the logic as to my thinking.
