SAPPHIRE HD 7970 Vapor-X
or
EVGA GTX 670 FTW
Which one is better and what should i get?

I'm going to play alot of FPS games like BattleField3, Borderlands 2, Far cry 3, Fallout 3, stuff like that

Which one should i get and what's better?
I'm gonna get a 750w TX750 as a PSU. Also i'm going to game on 1 monitor 1080p.

id say 7970, although it slightly better than GTX 670. so overall go with the one thats cheaper.

I too would advocate the 7970. It's a superb card, and Vapor-X is a good cooling system.

The 7970 most likely will OC better and it will murder the 670 at high resolution (and has way more compute power), the 670 gives you CUDA , PhysX, TXAA, FXAA, ADap. Vsync etc and lower power draw. Both are solid buys.If you still can't decide which card to take try looking at the games that you play or specific features that you want.If cost really matter to you then you might want to go with whatever is cheaper to you.

But guys, is it REALLY worth the extra 40$? I know that single monitors don't use more than 2GB vram and 7970 has 3 GB vram, since i know that and if i had 2 monitors or more i would of course go with the 7970. But in my situation I only have 1 1080p 22" monitor..

Fury Dharok :

Whether it is worth the extra $40 would depend entirely on how much $40 is worth to you. It's hard for us to gauge how price-conscious we should be when we don't know the overall budget of the build.

Jack Revenant :

40$ isn't a big problem actually, but since i have to go to another WHOLE new place to get all my pc built together so i could have the 7970
if i go with the 670 i could have warranty for all the pc in 1 place

that's why im confused which to choose.

It ultimately comes down to personal preference, mostly. Bigcyco1 listed the merits of both, you know your budget and options, and you're the one who has to live with the result, though the difference won't be huge.

GTX 670 it is for me, i don't care about much more FPS increase with 7970, i just wanna play most games on Max (will make settings lower if needed) with a stable 45+ FPS. Also the 7970 is going to kill my power bill as it consumes more energy

So i guess it's going to be 670. Thanks all c:
