I'm looking at a few different graphics cards

Radeon-7870
Radeon-7950
GTX-760

What would be the best card. I'm looking to have a good GPU that will last me at least 1 year or 2. Id like to be playing at 40+ frames per second. Would that be considered smooth? I don't have a 1080p monitor yet its like 13xx-something.
When i get a 1080p monitor would that decrease my fps by alot and would it also increase the detail by alot?

thanks

well 7950/GTX 760 are your only option. they both perform exactly the same so id go with the cheaper one. they both should last you 2-3 years if gaming at 1080p as they were specifically made for gaming at that res so you can max out most games with no AA with 50-60+FPS. and with a 1366*768 monitor, you would probably get 100+FPS( though you can't probably notice it).

Get a 7950 or 760, whichever is cheaper. On your current monitor you should get over 60 fps even with maxed settings. When you get a 1080p monitor the frames will drop but it will still be around 60 at ultra settings.

Graphical detail won't change across monitors unless you change video settings of the games.

Battlefield 4 and later games that use the Frostbite engine (Star Wars Battlefront, Need for Speed Rivals, Dragon Age Inquisition, Mirror's Edge 2, next Mass Effect) should favor AMD. All that and the games THIEF and Star Citizen will also be using AMD's Mantle API.

As for drivers, Nvidia's cards generally perform better in SLI than AMD's Crossfire.

No big difference between the 7950 and 760. At least for now. The Mantle API (might) turn out to give AMD cards a more significant performance boost in Mantle enabled games. The first game to use it will be Battlefield 4 with a game update sometime in December.
