Hey all I currently have an sapphire HD 7970 3g gddr5 oc with boost installed in my computer.

What I'd like to know is which would be more beneficial buying another of the same card.
or
selling it and getting a newer model (if this option what card would you recommend?)

If you need to know anything else about my comp let me know.

If I sold my old one probably in the region of £200.

My comp specs are
Amd fx 9590 cpu
Asus v formula z mobo
Crucial ssd and 1 tb hard drive
Radeon 7970 gcard
Corsair vengeance ram 16gb
Think that's it

How much can you get a GTX 970 there for? That's about the price it's going for in US dollars.

Thanks there about £300 in the UK but I'll keep a look out for a cheaper one. Does it matter which manufacturer it is or do they perform similar?

Well i'll just say those cards wont get any cheaper than that for a while. Really the performance doesnt drop too much...the EVGA models do have bad coil whine right now though
