Hey guys! I wish to know which card between $200 and $300 will be best for 1080p gaming. I need High settings. Not Ultra high. Please use www.newegg.ca for the links. I am only going gaming and will mostly be playing Battlefield 3 and 4.

Thanks :D

Possibly. Didn't AMD say they were going to do a BF4 bundle? Im waiting until Black Friday/Cyber Monday to buy a new card. Hopefully there is a great bundle around then.
Honestly a 760 should run BF4 pretty good.

For a $200 -$300 budget this all day or the GTX 760........

I can tell you that for a good gaming experience in 1080p you need the best and most powerful card you can afford and the HD 7950 is quite a beast, the GTX 760 though is also very good and both cards are near equal depending on the game.

Overall the "benches" seem to support the 760 in the main for games like battlefield so I'd probably choose that one, either way their both great cards.

Don't mean to be rude, but you clearly have not read the OP. I stated that you should use www.newegg.ca for the part links. Since I am in canada, that GPU is 70 dollars more than in the US.
 
Big +1 to the GTX760. Look at how a card as cheap as the GTX650 Ti Boost handles BF3 and it's clearly not a franchise that punishes nVIDIA card owners. Infact I can't think of a single big title that is hopelessly slow on nVIDIA or AMD hardware and fast on the other. You're looking at a few percent either way and that can shift with driver updates anyway.

Diamond, it went on sale on July 3rd. Just saying. Also, it has one fan, and that does not suite me well. And PowerColor is a terrible company. I bought a 6870 from them a few years ago and is arrived DOA and the second one arrived DOA. They have yet to pay me my money back.

LMAO ..... got lucky with that one then didn't I?

Yeah tbh I like Sapphire for Radeon cards, mines been flawless.
 
I've had terrible experiences with both Powercolor and Sapphire. I'd trust Gigabyte and MSI, though I'm sure others will have had bad experiences with those too. Nobody is 100%, though some do seem to churn out more faulty cards than others...
