The Asus GTX 760!! Because I have two of them :p

In all seriousness, I would choose the AMD 7970 GHz Edition - it trades blows with a GTX 770 and pounds the bejesus out of the GTX 670 in comparative benchmarks; especially if you use the latest beta...

The Radeon HD7950 has a few pros and cons in comparison. Except, the specs say it's power consumption is 600w! That's a bit insane for a graphics cards. If you have a 1000w power supply and nobody in your household, apartment, whatever to care about the electricity bill too much, then you might be happy with that. The other two cards seem near identical in performance according to the specs.

According to the GPU Benchmark (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+670&id=35) the GTX 670 is actually a bit better than the 760, and the Radeon card being under the other two cards on the chart. So with that said, make your decision based on such.

Uhh what? A 7950 and 670 draw about the same 180 watts at max a good 500 watt psu would run either

ya its a misprint they might reccomend a 600 watt psu but it sure as heck dont take 600 watts to power one.you could power 3 with less then 600 watts.i had 2 in xfire with a 700 watt power supply and it was fine

That makes more sense then. I expected the card to have a lot better specs if it needed that much power! Anyways, yeah the power consumption should be similar amongst all three.

You can almost use this review as more of a guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

In theory, if you went with a GTX 760 now, and purchased a second one for SLI a couple weeks later (like I did), then the performance beats a GTX 780 single card in most comparative benchmarks.

But! With the three you laid out on the table, I would choose the 7950; but maybe a different brand like Asus, MSI, or Gigabyte. Not sure about Lantic.
