Ive been saving money to build my self my first gaming rig for quite a while now and right around november ill have enough for my budget and cant decide on my graphics card. Right about now there are tons of new series cards coming out and im not sure whether to go with a gtx 760 or a 7950, or even just wait for the new radeon series to come out. im willing to spend up to 320$ on a graphics card.
All help is appreciated
 
Solution
For $310 ya can have twin 650 Ti Boosts which will outperform almost any single card on the market.....but by November I we may see a 7xx version or something else exciting

Im also contemplating three monitors down the road sometime, i also am planning on playing alot of bf4 on those three monitors would those two cards cut it ?
 


Totally. The only problem is that the refresh of the newest generation is generally worth the wait. Just like the 700 series is a better option than the 600 series; and the 500 series was better than the 400 series. Same GPUs, just more refined if you wait for the refresh. Problem is, with Maxwell you'd be waiting until 2015 for the series refresh.

yeah I agree with the 500 series being a worthy refresh over the 400 series because it fixed certain thermal problems.
But 700 series isn't that much better than the 600 overall IMO. Only worthy high end 700 series gpu is the gk110 gtx780 but that's priced epicly higher than the gtx680 when it first came out. So it doesn't really improve the price/performance ratio that much. A highly overclocked gtx670(they are very easy to overclock) can be comparable to a gtx770 so its not really a game changer.

but you have to remember newer games will be amd optimized due to the new stupid consoles following an amd route
 


I wouldn't bet your hard-earned money on that for the simple fact that Nvidia outsells AMD in video cards by 3 to 1. Optimizing your game code for such a minority of gamers is clearly a poor business strategy.

The other thing is that the hardware AMD is supplying to the consoles is not exactly a Radeon video card. Translating a game from a console to PC, as always, is tricky and often results in games that run poorly on the PC.

And lastly, there really is no track record that clearly shows that AMD "Gaming Evolved" titles absolutely run better on AMD hardware. Often, the opposite has proven true, and many AMD-optimized games actually run better on Nvidia hardware. Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3, and Crysis 3 are a few examples.
