I'm buying a PC, but Idk what to choose! I want to live stream wow in one monitor and have my chat box on the other! I can get either a Radeon 7950 or 7970! Which one should I get, they're both no issue price wise! Will the be fine to stream on Max at 60+ fps? I thought about a gtx 670 but I heard amd is better for wow:) 

More about : 7950 3gb 7970 3gb

If price is no issue, get the 7970. Heck, get two. But if you're really just playing WoW, you'd be fine with a 7870.

The GTX 760 comes out on June 25th. It should be faster and cheaper than a 7950.

WoW plays better on Nvidia cards.

That's interesting. Keep in mind, though, that a 60Mhz monitor can't display more than 60FPS, so anything over that is academic. It's a fair measure of the processing capability of the GPU, but nothing you can perceive while playing.

Still Nvidia pwns WoW... to the point where it's no big stretch to expect a $250-$300 GTX 760 to outperform a 7970 GHz.

Have a problem with FPS over 60? Just turn up the settings even more. 8xAA or higher would look nice and still hit those ideal FPS numbers.

That is certainly pushing it. The graphs show that NVidia has an advantage, but it isn't massive.

Since the GTX 760 is likely to be as fast as/faster than a GTX 670, for WoW, the prediction was not made flippantly.
