Whoa, interesting rules there! One can enter from 3 different ways , well thought Futuremark!

Btw, if Futuremark allow tesselation options to be disabled(which is unlikely ), this should be a good battle between GTX 680 Lightning and HD 7970 Lightning, too bad the Afterburner Extreme for GTX 680 still not released until now..

round 1: Z77 + GTX 680
