Hi guys, my trusty 5870 is well and truly dying
I'm tossing up between two cards:
EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB FTW

Or
MSI Radeon HD7950 3GB Twin Frozr III Boost Edition

My case is an NZXT Apollo, so it can fit up to 10.5" cards. The MSI is the only 7950 I've found that will fit. The EVGA just seems the best 670 for price.
I have no ATI v NVIDIA preference.
I only play one monitor 1080p, and don't plan to oc u til after warranty.
From the research I've done, the 670 performs better in gaming. Most info about the 7950 is how well it overclocks.
The only thing I'm not sure on is the 2gb vram v 3gb - I know it makes a difference with multiple monitors and/or huge resolutions, but do you think 3gb will become a real requirement, even for 1 monitor soon?
I'm leaning towards the 670 ($30 more). Anyone got any comments for or against?
Thank you!
