Hi to everyone. The next week I'll receive a refund for a 6950 (bought in October 2011 in an online shop) and I can use this money only in that shop, so I'll have to choose a new VGA. This two models are the imo the more intersting: a Palit GTX 670 JetStream and a Gigabyte HD 7970 OC WindForce . The first one will cost 35€ less than the second one, but I think the second one have better benchmarks.
I want to play at 1080p as resolution (I'll order this monitor the next week) with every setting to max, possibly. One last thing: I will NOT use this card in a PCI-e 3.0 slot, because my motherboard have a slot like that, but my CPU is Sandy Bridge (2500k).
(... actually, in the shop there is a 670 Windforce too, but at the same price I would probably go with the AMD one, that I think is comparable to a not-overclocked, right?).
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks.
EDIT: No, I'm not gonna use a multi-gpu configuration, but I'll not overclock either (maybe I'll only push the clock as far as I can with the stock voltage, I really don't want to risk much because I don't see much eran in terms of FPS honestly..). Then I should take a 7970 anyway? I would really try an nvidia card (never had one) but from what I read the 7970 GHz Ed. is more similar to a 680 than a 670 (and the 680 costs a LOT more than a 7970).
EDIT2: And what about the not-PCIe 3.0 slot? Will I have bad performance using it?
