Hello, I am wondering for gaming performance in newer games such as Battlefield 3 , which is the better buy, the Sapphire HD Radeon 7950 3GB (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=)(not overclocked, comes with 4 games) versus the EVGA GTX 670 2GB. Thanks alot for your time in advance :)

My Specs:
Processor: Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07 GHZ
RAM: 12 GB
Monitor: A 1400 x 900 View Sonic monitor
 
Solution
At a single 1400x900 resolution monitor, get whichever is cheaper. I say get the Sapphire HD 7950 one. Better cooling and you get some free games. :)

7950 is fine. It is a Sapphire 950 GHz edition http:// Maxed out on settings on a 1920 X 1080 monitor. Though I had to dial it back about one notch due some odd graphical phenomena--strange pixel patterns in colored smoke/haze, but I haven't had that happen in over a year, and has been stable ever since.
