You do not see the obvious. Nvidia is currently fighting with its higher clocks. And if you push the ati to the limits as nvidia does it with their card, you cab see, that the whole 79xx series beats their nvidia counterparts. And that not only with a slightly difference, but with ahuge difference.
And as the materials of ati cards are currently higher standard and as the card begins very early before frying it to produce glitches as warning. You can directly push it to 1000mhz with sufficient cooling, even with air cooling. If the materials would allow to run on higher temperatures with no look on lifetime, the gap with standard oc possibilities will be even bigger for ati cards.

I don't care whether my card is made of tinfoil and swiss cheese as long as it performs when I put it in my rig. All I know is my 660ti performs and performs fluidly. Even when frames drop, the motion I see is still smooth. In other words, the only way I know frame rates drop is if I have the fps counter going. Otherwise, I couldn't even tell while playing. I have seen in most reviews that the ati cards fluctuate, as vranac has pointed out in his post. While I agree that ati cards should be better if you just looked at their physical specs. That fact remains that they get spikey performance. Or if you like conspiracy theories you could assume that nvidia has paid off all the reviewers. However I am not a believer in a theory where ati could easily do the same. Quite possibly in the near future ati will get the issue resolved. At that point, I may quite possibly own a ati because I hold no allegiance to nvidia. For right now however, I love my 660ti which performs on this game the way I like.
