+1 on the Anandtech reviews; prefer the format and benchmark comparisons (they compare more than just the fastest cards, giving you an idea of the bump in performance you might get if you have a few generations old). I have a Radeon 6970 (last cycle) and in Skyrim, BF3 and Arkham City the 680 is just shy of 2x as fast... really didn't expect that big of a gap. The 680 isn't cheep at $499, but my 6970 was $425 new months after release and I've given up PhysX support in the few PC games that support it for nothing (I don't make use of the OpenCL advantages that AMD currently has). 680 overall looks like an awesome upgrade.
