MLAA is always a shader program.
Of these post process AA programs though, I suggest SMAA.

Crysis 3 will come with VH textures. Will the 7900 be able to beat the 680? And what about this Pixel Accurate Displacement Mapping they speak of?

How could anyone answer without knowing your arguments to doubt?
Like said on the article, off course you can.. Now the problem remain allways the same when you mix different performance level cards:
- memory side: the lower density on one cards will bring the higher density memory card to run at the same level: ( if one card have 1.5gb and the other have 3gb, both will run with 1.5gb ) .
The only case i have usea config in this style was the X1950xtx + X1900XTX, both overclocked core at the same speed, but not the memory: ( same amount of ram, but the GDDR4 used on the X1950XTX was too fast for clock the X1900XTX GDDR3 memory at this speed, so both ram was run on their own stock speed ) But there again if the clock speed of the GDDR was different, both have the same density of ram (1gb) .
- Performance side: one card will be choose more offtly for render the frame depending the performance difference between both cards. it will finish by degrade micro stuttering experience. ( i have make the test by oc one card and keep the other at stock, the experience is allready bad with a 100mhz difference ).
- Whatever is the SLI or CFX configuration, for the best experience you want use the same card.. so 2x 7870 "Thaiti LE", 2x 7950 or or 2x7970..
Outside than that, the 7870LE is close of the 7950 in many case performance side, so the only problem is more the memory. ( just oc the 7870 Thaiti a bit for resolve performance difference )

I came across Dynamic V-Sync results from this review:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7990-devil13-7970-x2,3329-11.html
Incredible amount of smoothness shown. Will something like this be available from CCC any time soon?
It would make a 7970/7870 LE CF interesting to say the least.

7900 series, including CF does really well in Hitman Absolution
If you aren't sensitive to microstutter, yes:
If you think everyone's system behaves like this one above sample then yes.
But in real world it doesn't ...
Also weird is that the TR results show a 660Ti beating the 7950, while at [H] the results are completely reversed. Maybe it has to do with one running a highly OC'ed 2600K with cat12.11B11 and the other a baseline 3820 with CAT12.11B8? I personally don't think an 3820 is a good CPU for Gaming.
Exactly, this can be caused by many things:
- X79 famous PCIe compatibility issues
- Driver
- HD7950 Boost BIOS
- other computer component
Obviously this issue is real and can happen on many systems, but so far we have a sample of one who is noticing it visually (see posted videos on TR website) as well as presented sampled data. But that still is one sample from many thousands cards sold and at least few hundred cards reviewed by testers.
If I had Hitman or Skyrim I would put some effort and ran few tests to verify Tech Report results.
