Extra BS from me :)  Dont have to read!

I know that once the 9000 series hits, that the 7970 will get a huge drop in the price, which is something I hate as selling is harder later on. I was just wondering in terms of performance, which of these two cherry picked gpus will perform better. More so in gaming, but power consumption is a must to me so ASIC quality pretty much matters too.

I know you cant magically come up with a ASIC quality nuimber so lets just focus on which card will be better in terms of performance and quality of the GPU itself.

The 7970 Lightning has a unique feature, it can connect to 6 monitors.

so it is a good pick for that reason only.

the GTX 770 IMO is better for now and the future , SLI is better than CF (CF stutters and miss frames) ., and Nvidia has PhysX which is really good and worth it (and can be turned off for more performance any time)

After watching Tek Syndicate play Skyrim with a fire mod, he put away his 780 and got his 7970 VaporX and there was a major increase in the fire details and stuff! Its on BeerGamesBeer channel. Anyway, so pretty much 770? Then SLi? I am tempted for the 780, but I'd have to wait some time. And sooner or later the AMD 9000 series will be out! Im overwhelmed by the graphics cards MADNESS! I sold my 670 windforce in order to free up some money on the next gen upgrade.TMI from me but I thankyou for your facts :)  Hmmmmmmmmmm I guess that wraps it up :)  Thankyou!

PhysX is official stuff not some modding stuff ... plus PS4 is PhysX enabled .. so you can expect alot PhysX games to come in the near future ...

besides AMD cant perfect their cross fire stuttering ..

plzzz physx is crap & hardly most games support them. plus it takes a major hit on the gpu & only a few games (10-15) support them. 7970 for the win...the 770 is fast but tad lil slower say 5% on the 7970.Btw amd fixed their CF on their 13.8 beta driver support. I hope the above person can do some little info forging b4 replying

:)  crap for the ones who dont have it :) 

and the games that support hysX are one of the best games around :) 

why do you think PS4 has ohysX support from nividia ? if it is CRAP ...

keep enjoying the AMD , we will enjoy the CRAP Physx :)

does not matter ... Nvidia allowed PhysX only for PS4 , and not even on XBOX one ...

if Nvidia allows PhysX to be run on desktop AMD GPU they will run , but they are locked.

and I reply as I wish . again we will enjoy our crap PhysX :)  and you enjoy your BEEEEEEEEEEEEEST AMD :)
