Now this is called next-gen.
Xbox 720 may have AMD HD6670 graphics | KitGuru
So its AMD in two of the next-gen consoles, what's cooking for PS4?
but it will still be so many times better than the 360

So, the PC remains faster, this wasn't the case last gen, consoles at lunch had good graphics, but...Now this is called next-gen.

Looks like I'll hang onto my lightning for a long long time.

Hanging, since 2004..
Not entirely true, consoles don't have the level of abstraction that PC's need to have in order to run games (necessary as PC's come in different flavors). This abstraction makes games not perform as good as they will on console with similar hardware. So you may need a new graphics card to run the upcoming gen games properly on your PC, and don't forget the sh1tty ports PC platform gets.

You're forgetting I have a 580 LightningNot entirely true, consoles don't have the level of abstraction that PC's need to have in order to run games (necessary as PC's come in different flavors).

But I do agree with the abstraction part, but I believe such abstraction is present in consoles as well, low level hardware access makes system vulnerable to hard faults, abstraction can save it from crashing if the game fails.
Can't stop myself from sharing these pics:-

And that's Unreal Gold running on the setup.

That's the dual GPU Voodoo 5, the last of 3dfx, probably the 1st card which require an external power connector. Above one is the previously mentioned Voodoo 2 and followed by the more commonplace GeForce 3.

Finally, ATi Rage Fury Maxx & Kyro II

MSI GeForce GTX 680 Lightning is perhaps the fastest Gtx 680 out there. The one thing that makes it stand out of the 680 crowd is its ability to tweak voltage which was missing in the Kepler lineup. In the default bios, it reached 1286 mhz with voltage tweaking.
Doing so puts it at almost the same clocks achieved by a 7970 max overclocked which was 1280 mhz. At these clocks, 680 was a bit faster in all titles than 7970. But there's more:
The lightning version also sports an LN2 bios which further takes the clocks to a whooping 1310mhz and it extends its lead in all titles further.
So the inability to tweak voltages made the 680's fall short of max clocks achieved by 7970's and msi has addressed this issue in its latest lightning card. The best gtx 680 that money can buy.

Maximum Effort!!!!!!
Here comes the review of the mighty monster sub-$300 category "THE NVIDIA GT660TI"
Overall it is faster than Amd's hd78xx series and beats the hd7950 by a mere-margin in every game....!!!!!!
The review can be taken by a pinch of salt ....coz its the only review..sure when many reviews will start to popup then we can jump to conclusion....till then mighty for the price range in the sub $300 category.....!!!!!
read the whole review here: NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 660 Ti 2GB Reference Video Card Review :: TweakTown USA Edition
Final para in the review:
"I suppose the best news for AMD is that since NVIDIA choose to be such a pain in the behind to us, they've got two weeks heads up on what to expect with this new part before it officially launches. The problem for AMD, though, is that while this card is priced at levels around the HD 7850 and HD 7870, its performance is around that of the HD 7950 and HD 7970. You combine this with the fact that AMD really don't have any more room to move on price due to recent price drops. We really do wonder what AMD can do. NVIDIA do this excellent job of taking on multiple AMD models with just one video card and in this case, we see that happening again."

Tweaktown is in rival with Nvidia since the kepler launch. If u see the first GTX 680 review, thats the beginning of the rival. Also they have mentioned this
So I think we can trust tweaktown
On Topic: imagine reference card did sooo much @ this price point, we ll see a blast in non reference model
