The GeForce GTX 670 continued to outperform the Radeon HD 7950 as it was around 10% to over 20% faster on the Day run. The Radeon HD 7950 managed to claw itself back a tad when it came to the Sunshafts run, but even then, it was still 5% to 10% slower than the GeForce GTX 670. The GeForce GTX 670 was also more than a match for the more costly Radeon HD 7970, losing out only when it came to the more intensive Sunshaft runs. It wasn’t that far behind the flagship GeForce GTX 680 either, as the latter was only about 5% quicker.
As we had expected, the two customized cards from ASUS and Palit were marginally quicker than the reference card, with both recording frame rates that were capable of matching the more expensive GeForce GTX 680.

Looking at the performance log, we noted that our card once again held a steady core clock speed of 1058MHz. Clearly, GPU Boost is a technology that works well. However, it also means that because no two chips are equal, even between reference GeForce GTX 670 cards, performance will inevitably vary. Still, we don't think it'll vary so much that it would be worth worrying about.
