Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade from a Radeon 6870 as my friend would like to buy it. I am deciding between a evga acx GTX 760 ($329), msi gaming GTX 760 ($339) and a msi twin frozr GTX 680 ($399). Which one should I get? Is the GTX 760 powerful enough to use in future games at 1200p and are there new features in the GTX 700 series that make the 760 more compelling over the 680?
Thanks
BTW I live in Austrralia

Go with the 680 if budget/power permits. A 760 performs between the GTX 660TI and the Gtx 670, but closer to the 660TI. The 680 out-performs them all, especially in gaming. The 700 series has a new overclocking feature that automatically overclocks based on GPU temps, but is rather minuscule in terms of drawing features. 680 delivers more power, and competes with the GTX 770, a bigger and more powerful brother of the 760.

680 is more powerful than the 760 so.. I'd go with the 680 as it's a slightly slower 770. The 700 series is just a higher clocked and has slightly more bandwith than the 600 series. At that price point i'd go with the 680.
