So I want to build a PC and people have been telling me that the GTX 680 performs better in rendering than the Radeon 7970 does. I play a lot of games, but there's not much to compare in gaming between these two. The programs I use are Adobe After Effects, Photoshop (3dsMax and 4D Cinema as well but I've only watched tutorials and I believe I'm starting to get into it not sure if I start 3d modeling though.)

Having said that, would it be worth it to invest on the GTX 680? I'm leaning to the Radeon at this point of time but I'm still quite unsure.

7970: Great FPS, comes with free games, cheaper, has more V-RAM
680: Equally good FPS (debatable), less micro-stutter with SLI (debatable), better drivers from NVidia (debatable).

There you go, and I think you can tell what my choice would be.

Here we go again........

Another fight just started between the red and green team lol

Personal opinion if your on 1440p you need 3GB
Some games prefer radeon some NVidia.
Nvidia known to be "little" smoother gaming perhaps due to driver.

Thanks

EDIT: IM NEUTRAL :)

680:
Equally good FPS, (depends on game, probably favors 7970Ghz edition)
less micro-stutter with SLI (depends on game to some extent, but all studies show it SLI is superior in most games)
better drivers from Nvidia (depends on your focus. 3D & SLI favors Nvidia, 3 monitors appear to favor AMD {never seen a study, going off of forum users, which is why I say "appear" and not as strong in my assessment})

Then there are other features that could be important to you, like MLAA, FXAA, PhysX, DirectCompute, adaptive vsync that favor one or the other.
