I definitely noticed
something when I had my 7950. And, I'm only running 1920x1200, so the 7950 should have been more than enough card for the job. And yet, somehow, it just didn't seem
right. Nothing that you could put your finger on.
Then I got my 680, and immediately noticed a difference. It was just so much smoother. Now, I know it's not Apples to Apples. A 7950 vs a 680 is NOT a fair comparison. BUT, I'm saying that the 7950 should have been enough card to provide perfectly smooth framerates at the resolution that I'm running. The GTX680
should not have provided any noticeable difference. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 50fps and 70fps (especially on a 60HZ monitor, lol). However, MicroStutter could possibly provide some sort of unwanted visual feedback. The 680 just feels smoother, overall.
Now, I'm not saying the 7950 provided a bad experience, not by any stretch of the imagination. It's just that the 6xx series card seems to provide a much better one.
