I have a HD7970- Probably going to return it

See how it overclocks IMO. If you can get to 1125/1575 (almost guaranteed) or higher (likely), and you're comfortable with that - no reason to return it.

If you just want to run your GPU at stock, then yeah return it and get a 680.

At 1920x1080 it won't matter at all, both cards are pushing max settings and 60fps.

I would return it though and just wait because the price has to drop.

Yes, the 7970 at $550 is robbery. AMD's strategy of underclocking their GPU's to rip of their costumers has backfired.

if those results are already real, yes...

Every major PC Tech site released official reviews this morning... you've got some reading to do  

the 680 is looking like a champ

mind you id still use a 7970 or 2 for extreme resolutions, ie eyefinity. the 7970 definately catches up the higher you crank the resolution, the extra ram will help at some point as well.
