Radeon HD 7970 and GeForce GTX 680 tested with 10 CPU @ HWGroup

The results of this article are what you would expect and split between AMD and Intel,  No cross testing was done (in the same chart) which might be my biggest issue with the results and negates the purpose of the article.

Of course, IMO.

To get the most out of a high-end single-GPU graphics card, you need an Intel Core i5 3570K or higher. It's also interesting to note that AMD's low-end processors score better than Intel's cheap processors in combination with high-end graphics cards. The last conclusion we can draw is that the AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz edition suffers less from CPU scaling than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 680. That means that the AMD card performs better with slower processors compared to the Nvidia card.

Maybe the best part of this article is the comments.  Be sure to read a few of them with a good bowl of popcorn.
