Playing Crysis 3, game in single player mode constantly crashed with 7970 GPU. RMA'd the card (also had some serious noise issues) for a GTX 670. Game is still crashing. This game specific, or machine specific?

I've noticed a HUGE decrease in performance with this GTX 670. I thought the 7970 and GTX 670 were on-par. I played Crysis 3 max settings with 7970 at 1080p, not ONE instance of any frame-rate lag. The GTX 670 can barely even handle 'medium' settings. Very depressing :(.
